Introduction

John the Baptist urges people to turn away from their sins, and he speaks words of judgment to the religious leaders. The adult Jesus approaches and is baptized by John.

Today’s Key Scripture: Matthew 3:17

Then a voice said from heaven, “This is my own dear Son, with whom I am pleased.”

Today’s Reading 

Matthew 3:1-17

Reflect

Being baptized with water indicated a desire to stop sinning and wanting to turn away from an old way of life. What was John’s message? How is he described? What does he say about Jesus?

Pray

Thank you, God, for your messengers like John the Baptist, who preach of repentance and forgiveness of sins. Help me to see the things in my life for which I need to repent and help me to turn away from sinful behavior. Amen.

Prayer Concern

Those seeking repentance

Tomorrow’s Reading
