- 0:20week. I hope you are going well as
- 0:23this week is unfolding full of potential and all the good
- 0:28things coming. In the week ahead, we are going
- 0:32to be continuing along our journey.
- 0:34Through the Book of Luke, we are up to the chapter, which today's
- 0:40chapter includes the ancestry of Jesus.
- 0:45I'm going to do my best with all these different names and you
- 0:48are going to listen to the story of God.
- 0:53Embedded with this group of people, we will hear son after
- 0:57father, after son after father. Either.
- 1:00And we will know that many many years before there was prophecy
- 1:05that said that Jesus would come in this way through a particular
- 1:11line and through a particular family.
- 1:13And this is Luke letting all the readers know that.
- 1:16Yes, this is what happened. Just as God promised all that
- 1:20time before. So join me friends, as we read
- 1:25together, Luke chapter 3, It was now the fifteenth year of
- 1:39the reign of Tiberius, the Roman Emperor, Pontius Pilate was
- 1:44governor over Judea. Herod Antipas was ruler over
- 1:47Galilee. His brother Philip was ruler
- 1:50over. I turia and track and itís less
- 1:54Aeneas was ruler over Abilene. Anna's and Caiaphas were the
- 2:00high priests. At this time a message from God
- 2:03came to John son of Zechariah who was living in the
- 2:07wilderness. Then John went from place to
- 2:10place on both sides of the Jordan River preaching.
- 2:13That people should be baptized to show that they had repented
- 2:17of their sins and turn to God, to be forgiven, Isaiah had
- 2:21spoken of John, when he said, he is a voice shouting in the
- 2:25wilderness, prepare the way for the Lord's coming clear the road
- 2:30for him, The Valleys will be filled and the mountains and
- 2:33Hills made level. The curves will be straightened
- 2:37and the rough places made smooth.
- 2:39And then all people will see the Salvation sent from God.
- 2:45When the Crowds came to John for baptism.
- 2:47He said you brood of snakes who warned you to flee.
- 2:51The coming wrath. Proved by the way you live that
- 2:55you have repented of your sins and turn to God.
- 2:58Don't just say to each other we're safe for we are
- 3:01descendants of Abraham. That means nothing.
- 3:04For I tell you God can create children of Abraham from these
- 3:08very Stones even now the ax of God's judgment is poised.
- 3:14Ready to sever the roots of the trees.
- 3:16Yes, every tree that does not produce.
- 3:19Good fruit will be chopped down and thrown into the fire.
- 3:23The crowds asked, what should we do?
- 3:26John replied if you have two shirts, give one to the poor, if
- 3:31you have food, share it with those who are hungry, even
- 3:35corrupt, Tax Collectors came to be baptized and asked teacher,
- 3:39what should we do? He replied collect no more taxes
- 3:43than the The government requires, what should we do?
- 3:47Ask some soldiers, John replied, don't extort money or make false
- 3:52accusations and be content with your pay.
- 3:55Everyone was expecting the Messiah to come soon and they
- 3:59were eager to know whether John might be the Messiah.
- 4:01John answered their questions by saying, I baptize you with
- 4:06water, but someone is coming soon who is greater than I am so
- 4:12much greater that. I'm not even worthy to be his
- 4:15slave and untie the straps of his sandals, he will baptize you
- 4:19with the Holy Spirit and with fire, he is ready to separate
- 4:24the chaff from the wheat. Tweet with his winnowing Fork,
- 4:28then he will clean up the threshing area Gathering the
- 4:31wheat into his barn but burning the chaff with never-ending
- 4:35fire. John used many such warnings as
- 4:39he announced the good news to the People.
- 4:42John also publicly criticized Herod Antipas.
- 4:45The ruler of Galilee for marrying herodias his brother's
- 4:49wife and for many other wrongs he had done.
- 4:53So Herod, put John in prison, adding this sin to his many
- 4:57others. One Day When the Crowds Are
