Baptism and Genealogy of Jesus

October 1, 2023 AM, Luke 3:21-38.

Our Scripture reading was I John 4:1ff

Put yourself back in the 27 AD. Would you take John’s baptism? In other words, would you associate yourself with his message of repentance, turning to God, and doing works befitting repentance? Would you humble yourself and participate with a man seen by the leadership of Israel as a strange bird (at best) or a lunatic? Would you repent of your sin, idolatry, covetousness, lust, blasphemy, filthy language, immorality, bad thoughts, etc. and admit your need for Jesus to cleanse you?
