Luke 3:1-22 Baptism of Jesus
John the Baptist challenges a culture that has become greedy and complacent. The alternative vision is a compassionate society. The Messiah was to come with a winnowing fork-a distinction between the world’s way and God’s way. Isaiah had declared that the crooked ways will be made straight. This is a counter-cultural Jesus, offering people a radically different way to look at life. Where do you see our world in need of a “new outlook”?
