Sermon
Pre-Amble
Vipers flee from the wrath
Many come to John to be Baptised
He has just been dealing with the Pharasies & Sadduces, trying to trip him up
John Rebukes the crowd
Vipers, small and often hide mongst the sticks/branches on the floor and attack an unsuspecting passerby
Many were insincere, copying others
following superstitiously
Wrath - The Messiah has come to save His People
“Who deluded you to think it possible to evade God?”
Bear Fruit
John points out the act of Baptism is a symbol
What matters is that you bear fruit in keeping with repentance
John warns them against believing salvation comes through inheritance
The God who created Adam from dust, can make believers from stones
John is also symbolic in his overtone
God can turn a heart of stone into a living heart
Stones are cast out, and John points to Gentile conversion
Judgement is coming
Now is the time to repent
When judgement comes it will be too late
Choice
Rependance & Obedience to God - bear fruit
Remain in Sin (self worship) - love towards oneself
Baptism - symbolic on inward change
Inward change mus therefore occur
Show genuine Love towards others
Question 1 - Crowd
Clothing & Food
Voluntary Sharing
Not Socialism - Government take from rich to give the poor
Not Theft - Does not say to the poor to help themselves
Not Strikes - does not condone refusal to work for higher wages
Not wealth & prosperity Gospel
Question 2 - Tax Collectors
Does not speak against being a Tax Collector
“Do not collect more than you are authorised to do”
Question 3 - Soldiers
Does not speak against being a Soldier
Do not Extort - Force by unfair means
do not exort money from anyone by threats
do not exort money from anyone by false accusations
fueling hatred of the rich
Be content with your wages!
Are you Elijah?
Are you the Messiah?
John 1:19-23
Baptising Jews, as if they too were unclean
John replied he is the “the voice of one who crying in the wilderness”
John gives us more details of the questioning
Are you the Messiah, are you Elijah, are you the prophet
Now they ask why then are you baptizing?
I bapise you with water
A minor reflection
The Messiah
is mightier
i am unworth to losen or untie his sandals
the task was considered to be the lowest of all tasks
not even worthy to be his servant
He will baptise with the Holy Spirit & Fire
He will bestow upon his followers
salvation
gift of Holy Spirit - fire cleansing
Christ’s 2nd coming - fire symbolises wrath
Winnowing Fork - Pic
Threshing Floor - Pic
Gather the wheat (grain)
Chaff to be burned in unquenchable fire

Closing Prayer
Doxology(read) –
Give thanks to God, for he is good,
the everlasting Giver:
let all his people praise the Lord
whose love endures for ever.
For his right hand has made me strong;
I am his new creation:
he is my God, he is my song,
my strength and my salvation.
