The mission of John the Baptist was to prepare the hearts of the people to receive the Savior and become more like Him.
How did he do it?
He proclaimed, βRepent yeβ (Matthew 3:2). And he used images such as fruit and wheat to teach about repentance (see Luke 3:9, 17).
What other images do you find in the accounts of John the Baptistβs ministry? (see Matthew 3:1β12; Mark 1:1β8; Luke 3:2β18).
Consider marking them in your scriptures or drawing pictures of them. What do these images teach about the doctrine and necessity of repentance?
True repentance is βa change of mind, a fresh view about God, about oneself, and about the world. β¦ [It means] a turning of the heart and will to Godβ (Bible Dictionary, βRepentanceβ).
In Luke 3:7β14, what changes did John invite the people to make to prepare to receive Christ?
How might this counsel apply to you?
How can you show that you have truly repented? (see Luke 3:8).
