Luke 3:1-14
John went into the region around the Jordan, proclaiming a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins.
Bear fruits in keeping with repentance. Even now the axe is laid to the root of the trees. Every tree therefore that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.
Prepare the way of the Lord. Every vally, every mountain, ... be made low, straight, filled. All flesh shall see the salvation of God.
John teaches the detail instructions of living.
Whoever has two tunics is to share with him who has none, and whoever has food is to do likewise.
Tax collectors: Collect no more than you are authorized to do.
Soliders: Do not extort money from anyone by threats or by false accusation, and be content with your wages.
Why?
Baptism is not a ceremony only but has proclaiming target.
Anyone have authority is given from the Lord, so do not over the authority to do the work.
John was prepared the way for Jesus Christ, let many people accept baptism of repantance for the forgiveness of sins.
How?
Share what I have with who has none. It is not easy, I shall do as my best to share what I have.
