A CHRISTIAN LOOKS AT MATTHEW’S GOSPEL
Announcing the Christ
Reading: Matthew 3:1-12 (Click passage to view)
John the Baptizer was the herald of the Christ. Clearly his office was unique and cannot be repeated. Yet it is also true that all disciples are to point to Christ and announce the arrival of his Kingdom. John’s two most important qualities were his moral courage and self-effacing humility. If we are to be salt & light in the world it is going to take moral courage and self-effacing humility.
Meditation: Am I fearless in pointing to Christ and his Kingdom? How can I do this more with my life than with my tongue?
Prayer pointer: Help me to be as radical as John the Baptizer.
