“They Confessed Their Sins”

“They Confessed Their Sins”

Blessings folk!

John was preaching repentance.

Let us look at what the other gospels say…

Mat 3:1-6

Now in those days John the Baptist came, preaching in the wilderness of Judea, saying,

“Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.”

For this is the one referred to by Isaiah the prophet when he said,
“THE VOICE OF ONE CRYING IN THE WILDERNESS,
‘MAKE READY THE WAY OF THE LORD,
MAKE HIS PATHS STRAIGHT!’”

Now John himself had a garment of camel’s hair and a leather belt around his waist;
and his food was locusts and wild honey.

Then Jerusalem was going out to him, and all Judea and all the district around the Jordan;

and they were being baptized by him in the Jordan River, as they confessed their sins.

We see from the Matthew account the straight-forward word proclaimed by John - “Repent”!
Why?
“For the kingdom of heaven is at hand”.

We see detail as to who was hearing him.
Everyone!
Those in Jerusalem.
All Judea.
All the district around the Jordan.
They were being baptized by John,
They were confessing their sins.

The Lord was moving upon His people.

I believe the same is occurring today.
People want to know the Truth.
People are being convicted by the Spirit.

We must speak the Truth.
We must speak the Gospel.
The True Gospel…not man’s “religionism”.

Let us do it.
