Lesson 4305

(Lesson 4305)(11-13-23) Luke 3:7-9

    “Then said he to the multitude that came forth to be baptized of him, O generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come? Bring forth therefore fruits worthy of repentance, and begin not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say unto you, That God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham. And now also the axe is laid unto the root of the trees: every tree therefore which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.”

    In today’s quote, John challenged the leadership of the Jews for their lack of sincerity. He also  told them that simply being Jews would not exempt them from exhibiting intent “worthy” of repentance.~
