Jesus baptism #2
John saying
I am preparing
He will save
Change you from the inside
Wait for him
John is judging - 'repent'!
J greater
Judgement greater (17-20)
baptism greater
J - greater judgement (John 5)
We can judge behaviour (we do it all the time)
only J can judge soul (motives)
Good news
no-one who hears this and confesses and asks for salvation will be rejected
Fork is not yet in the pile
Winnowing fork
Wheat or Chaff?
Temptation
Religion
Riches
Chaff includes Herod
John goes after him
Gets into trouble
private faith - x problem
No prob if he'd said - 'who am I to judge? - consenting adults
trouble - beheaded!
