John made answer, saying to them all, Truly, I give you baptism with water, but one is coming who is greater than I, whose shoes I am not good enough to undo: he will give you baptism with the Holy Spirit, and with fire:
Luke 3:16 BBE
Luke 3 Luke 3 Lord we thank you for your
baptism with the Holy Spirit we thank
you for living in us we thank you for
giving us the inclination to open up to
you and receiving you Lord we thank you
Lord for your fire for your zeal for
your light for everything you stand for
and for being allowed in you as a member
of your body amen
thank you for your word thank you for
your voice
thank you for inscribing
your will your words in our hearts Luke
3 verse 1 now in the fifteenth year of
the rule of Tiberius Caesar Pontius
Pilate being ruler of Judea and Herod
being king of Galilee his brother Philip
king of the country of Eternia and fahan
itis and Lysanias king of Abilene when
Anna’s and Caiaphas were high priests
the word of the Lord came to John the
son of Zacharias in the wasteland and he
came into all the country round about
Jordan preaching baptism as a sign of
forgiveness of sin for those whose
hearts were changed baptism as a sign of
forgiveness of sin
for those whose hearts were changed as
it says in the book of the words of
Isaiah the prophet the voice of one
crying in the wasteland make ready the
way of the Lord
make ready the way of the Lord make his
roads straight to make ready the way of
the Lord is to ask the Lord for
forgiveness of your sins and to receive
his forgiveness for your sin every
Valley every valley will be lifted up
and all the mountains and hills made low
and a twisted will be made straight and
a rough ways smooth everything will be
brought to one level able to receive the
Lord the valleys will be lifted up the
mountains made low and a twisted will be
made straight and a rough ways smooth
all the ways will be made ready for the
Lord and all flesh all flesh will see
the salvation of God his name is Jesus
so he said to the people who went out to
him for baptism you offspring of snakes
at whose word are you going in flight
from the wrath to come let us be clear
as to which people those were
he would say that to the crowds that
came to him offspring of snakes who sent
you to come here may clear by your acts
that your hearts have been changed and
do not say to yourselves we have Abraham
for our Father for I say to you that God
is able from these stones to make
children of Abraham God is able to make
people to worship him from whatever he
pleases out of nothing if necessary be
sure before you ask for forgiveness that
your heart has changed this is the way
in how to see if someone is sincere a
lot of people say well forgive me for
death but they don’t mean it their heart
hasn’t changed they’re taught as to why
they did that did not change and so they
go and have to do it over and over again
this is a misconception on their part as
to how forgiveness works for the Word of
God says make sure that your heart has
changed before you go for forgiveness on
the other hand let’s look at ourselves
if someone comes from forgiveness what
does the Word of God say must we say all
they don’t really mean it how many times
shall we forgive our brother or sister
or whomever it is who comes asking for
forgiveness one time seven times
No 7 times 77
continuously at all time whenever they
request it blessed be your Lord but as
ask her for forgiveness make clear by
your acts that your hearts have been
changed don’t do the same thing over and
over again make clear by your acts that
your heart has changed and do not say to
yourselves we have Abraham for our
father for I say to you God is able from
these stones to make children of Abraham
even if you see nothing but dry stones
God is able to raise up people and even
now the ax is put to the root of the
trees and every tree which does not have
good fruit will be cut down and put into
the fire and the people put questions
through him saying what have we to do
and he made answer and said to them to
them he who has two coats let him give
to him who has not even one and he who
has food let him do the same the tax
farmers came to him for baptism and said
to him master what have we to do and he
said to them do not make an attempt to
get more money more money than the right
amount and man of the army put questions
to him saying and what have we to do and
he said to them do no violent acts to
any man and do not take anything without
right and let your payment be enough for
you and while the people are waiting and
all man were questioning in their hearts
about John if he was the Christ or not
John made answer saying to them all
truly I give you baptism with water but
what is coming who is greater than I
whose shoes I am not good enough to undo
he will give you baptism with the Holy
Spirit and with fire in whose hand is
the instrument with which he will make
clean his grain he will put the great
the good grain in his store but the
waste will be burned in the fire which
will never be put old he will make the
selection between the good grain and a
waste and a chaff and so comforting them
with these in other words he gave the
good news to the people Christ is to
come the salvation of God is to come for
all who repent from their sins and turn
to him but Herod the King because John
had made a protest on account of
Herodias his brothers his wife and other
evil things which Herod had done did
this most evil thing of all and had John
shut up in prison now it came about that
when all the people had been given
baptism Jesus having had baptism with
them was in prayer when the heaven being
open the Holy Spirit came down in the
form of a dove and a voice came from
heaven saying you are my dearly loved
son with whom I am well pleased
