Jesus as lion of judah

4 - 10 December 2022

It’s not me

Matthew 3.1-12

John the Baptist fulfils the role of Isaiah’s prophetic voice, preparing for the Lord’s coming. The preparation is repentance, and learning to ‘bear good fruit’ by depending only on God. When the Lord, the Messiah, comes, he will baptize with the Holy Spirit and fire. Our readings all speak of a message for the whole world. In their different ways they reflect the glory of God, especially as revealed in Jesus. Our gaze is drawn away from concern with ourselves to see a bigger picture – it’s not about us, it’s about Jesus

This week we explore what it means to point to Jesus.
