Hi, Pastor John:
Todays Pearl, goes so well with the scripture, below.
I have read over this verse in Mathew,many times. Other than keeping the law of Moses, would their repentance be to submit to John’s water baptism? I thought this was something; people were getting healed, fed, and raised from the dead, but they really didn’t want Jesus or what he was preaching (the Kingdom of God). They just wanted their belly fed, and their bodies healed, and just go on their way. It broke my heart for Jesus, but I’m on this side of Pentecost, as you have said many times.
Mathew Ch:11 vs:20
Then he began to denounce the cities in which most of his miracles were performed because they did not repent.

Hi Billy.
John’s baptism was not part of repentance. It was the proof that one had already repented. Jesus’ baptism is the same.
