Speaker: Brian Brookins
Sermon Notes: Matthew 3:1-12 Outline

There are some who would like to draw a deep separation between the ministry of John and the ministry of Jesus. They say that John preached judgment while Jesus preached love. Of course, the problem in that is that when we come to the start of Jesus’ ministry in Matthew 4:17 we find the exact same prescription that is found in 3:1-2 describing John. John came preparing the way, and there is a definite continuity between what Jesus did and what John did. In fact, there are significant parallels when their lives and ministries are compared.

The point here is to understand that the themes of repentance and judgment are necessary and right. They are not the whole message, but neither are they optional.
