Q COME TO

Repentance and reformation featured the menage of John the Baptist. The personal appearance. the intense earusstne**. the peculiar habits, the distinctive rile, and the holy theme were all sufficient to arouse his countrymen. V. 7 “Then said he to the multitude that came forth to, he baptiaod of him, O generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wroth to come?" These words were addressed to the Pharisees and Sadducees; they were inwardly wicked In spite ot their outward appearance. There is no class distinction when sin Is considered by a gospel message. V. 0. 'Bring forth fruits worthy ot repentance, and begin hot to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our tethers; tor I say unto you that God is able ot these stones to raise up children ot Abraham." Repentance had to be genuine; Mlt-lmportance had to be surrendered: the Pharisees must understand that God could get along without them, hence, the phrase, the use ot "stones to raise up children ot Abraham.' V. ». "And mw alee the ase is laM unto too root of the trees, every tree therefore which brlsgeth not forth good fruit Is hewn down and cast into the fire." it was the custom to cot down Unfruitful trees, and so. divine Judgments were impending for those whose trait In a moral sense wee bad The same thought is expressed in Jesus* parable of. the talents. V. 10 "And the people arked him asking, What shall we do then?’’ This verse Indicates the effectvieness of John's preaching Whatever one does, he it preaching or doing one's regular duties, the result ts what counts. V. 11. “He answareth and saith unto them He that hath two coats, let him Impart tn him that hath noire; and he that hath meat, let him do likewise,” Sharing clothing or bard with the needy would not of Itself create ; spiritual life, but It would be fruit "wotthy of repentance' In that It Would lx evidence -of a renunciation of selfishness and greed V 12 "Then tame alsb publicans to he baptised sntl said unto, luin. Master, what shall we do?" .The moral distance from « Pharisee to a Publican was a long way for they were the despised class because they often were riithle*-.

When Ananias and . Saphira, withheld the truth, pretending to’ give their all into the common treasury but secretly withholding a part of their possession*, (tod made an example of such procedure by #*|H«iUK and punishing them Uy th- penalty of death No une i* jaslUied before God In doing business today by wtihholding th* truth that a sale may b« made A witness In court f» sworn “to tell all the truth and nothing btt’ s th# truth."

in their collection ot taxea. The j gospel ot repeuianc* covers all, classes. V. 13..“ And M Mid unto them. Easct no more than that which is appointed you." Holding an office under the government Is not to be condemned, but the particular sip that might hu connoctod with that office is om that needs repentance. V. 14. "And the soldinra likewise demanded of him. saying. And what shall we do? And he said unto them. Do violence to no man. neither accuse any falsely; and be content with your wagM." Might it Mt be that the Publicans needed the protection ot aoMtors and that that would account for their presence? However, the Baptist struck the particular vices to which they were especially liable- violence, salsa accusattoe and wage disputes; so the tost ot repentance as slated here. It Is to be noted that In all theae cases repentance did Mt demand ceaaatlon or change of work but right living in their several aphares. V 15 And aa the people were in expectation, and all men aiuaed Jn their heart of John, whether he were the Christ or not:*’ This great preacher had so many qaallties of the expected Messiah that they conjectured that he might be he.

V. 1«. “John answered, saying to them all.''l Indeed oaptlxe you with water; hff.t one mightier than ■ cometh, the latchet of whose shoes t am not worthy to untooae: he shall baptise you with fire and the Holy Ghost.” Jens was mightier than John in achieving spiritual results and tn executing judgment The Spirit ot Christ would effect an inner cleansing such as-sn outward baptism-would simply typify. Fire was a symbol of the Spirit's work by which men would be purified, illuminated, and Inflamed with holy seal V*» 17. Ut. "Whose fan is In his hand, and he win thoroughiy purge his floor, and will gather his wheat tn his garner; but the chaff he will burn with unquench able, fire ' Here Is depicted the separation that will come when finally judged by Christ. Vs. 1». 20. "But Herod the tetrach. being reproved by him for Herodias his brother Phillip's wife, and fW the evils Itorod had done, added yet this" above all that he shut up John In prison." Some lime later John Ireesme the first Christian martyr but he still Uvea because of bls life and his message.
