Before Jesus was ever born, John the Baptist was
sent as a messenger, preparing the people for when Jesus comes. He preached repentance, "the forgiveness
of your sins" and baptized the Judean people in the Jordan River. His message was simple, "there will be
one more powerful than I." I am not
worthy to untie his sandals. He will
baptize you with the Holy Spirit; I can only baptize you with water.
Prayer: Dear
Lord, We pray you forgive us of our sins and that you promise to meet us in
this place of repentance and that everyone understands that a new life can
begin with the liberating gift of forgiveness, Amen.
