The great leveller
Luke 3.1-6John the Baptist hears God’s word and begins a ministry, baptizing people as a sign of repentance and telling those he meets that Jesus will be for all people. His work echoes the prophecy in Isaiah, that there will be a voice crying out to prepare the way of the Lord. Isaiah shows that Jesus’ message is one of equality – not just for the rich and powerful and not just for the Jews.
Signs are important to us. They can tell us how to behave, where to go – and where not to go! A sign might tell us that the road ahead is bumpy, but probably not that it is smooth! But this week, we are going to see how Jesus is a sign for everyone that, regardless of who we are or what we do, we are all equal in the sight of God.
This week we explore John as a sign that Jesus is for all.
