    The word of God did not come to the palaces of the great or the mighty in church or state, but to John, in the wilderness.

    THE MINISTRY OF BAPTISM. Luke 3:1-22. People may be impressed with names and titles, but God is not. As Peter told the household of Cornelius, God shows no partiality: “God is no respecter of persons” (Acts 10:34). Tiberius was Emperor in Rome. Pontius Pilate was governor in Judea.

    On this “Baptism of Jesus” Sunday we might very well ask what John asked. Why did Jesus need to be baptized? Like John it is also good for us to see our need for baptism by Jesus.

    John the Baptist. That name brings powerful images to mind. Camel’s hair clothes held together with a leather belt. Grasshoppers dipped in wild honey for a sweet and crunchy meal. Saying the morally right thing at the socially wrong time. John was the one who called the people who came to hear ...read more
