Last week I pointed how odd it was for John to begin his sermon by calling his audience a family of snakes. These people had come from all over the region of Judea, no doubt some had traveled a long distance a great personal expense. You would think that John would have begun by saying:

“Howdy folks, thanks for coming I know the journey must have been long and hard, I appreciate you coming”

But Luke tells the reason for this harsh rebuke,

· they had come to be baptized; however, they had no real repentance,

· they were trusting the fact that they were dependents of Abraham

Today, we talk about two aspects of John’s ministry, I want to note the miraculous nature of his ministry, and then I want to talk about his message.
