WILL YOU CHANGE? John the Baptizer had his priorities straight. He was not the star. Rather he was the opening act, getting people ready for Jesus, the main event. And as such he did his job well, preparing people for the one who was still to come. He preached repentance that their hearts would be open to receive the baptism of the Spirit. The new world Jesus comes to bring requires that people will be willing to change. Are you? |
