Summary: Hear the cry repent today.
BUT HE DOES NOT LOOK LIKE A CHRISTIAN
Matt: 3:1In those days came John the Baptist, preaching in the wilderness of Judaea,
2And saying, Repent ye: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.
3For this is he that was spoken of by the prophet Esaias, saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight.
4And the same John had his raiment of camel's hair, and a leathern girdle about his loins; and his meat was locusts and wild honey.
5Then went out to him Jerusalem, and all Judaea, and all the region round about Jordan,
6And were baptized of him in Jordan, confessing their sins.
7But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees come to his baptism, he said unto them, O generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come?
8Bring forth therefore fruits meet for repentance:
9And think not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say unto you, that God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham.
10And now also the axe is laid unto the root of the trees: therefore every tree which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.8Bring forth therefore fruits meet for repentance:
11I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance: but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire:
1. Man coming out of the wilderness.
No training
Not one bible class
No high preist with him
No temple back ground
2. Saying Repent now
The kingdon of God is at hand
The king is coming
The Son of God is on his way
3.This the one Esaias spoke of
Clearing the way for Jesus
Opening doors
Calling all men to turn around
4. Check out his dress
4And the same John had his raiment of camel's hair, and a leathern girdle about his loins; and his meat was locusts and wild honey.
Camel hair
Leather girdle
Eating locusts
Wild honey
5.Who is the man?
5Then went out to him Jerusalem, and all Judaea, and all the region round about Jordan,
6And were baptized of him in Jordan, confessing their sins.
He is not a temple person
He is not from here
He is a false teacher
In whos name is baptizing
6.Here comes trouble
7But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees come to his baptism, he said unto them, O generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come
John saw the on lookers trying to find fault
He call them vipers
They were like a snake hiding in the grass waiting to bit
He told them they need to repent and flee from the wrath of coming God
7.What fruit are bearing
8Bring forth therefore fruits meet for repentance:
9And think not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say unto you, that God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham.
10And now also the axe is laid unto the root of the trees: therefore every tree which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
You need to check up your fruit is not clean
You all need to be saved
God can raise stones in to children
You will be judge
8.Looking at me
11I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance: but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire:
Just here to start baptizeing you
Dont look at me i am pointing you tothe one after me
I am not worthy to carry his shoes
He will bring power and baptize you with the Holy Ghost
