(Lesson 5066) (12-13-25) Matthew 3:7-9
“But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees come to his baptism, he said unto them, O generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come? Bring forth therefore fruits meet for repentance: And think 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.”
In today’s quote, John warned the Pharisees and Sadducees that outward rituals, and claiming Abraham as their father, mean nothing to God, stressing that to express genuine repentance, a real change of heart is required, true repentance is not demonstrated by empty religious gestures. ~
