(Lesson 5068) (12-16-25) Matthew 3:11-12
“I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance. but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire: Whose fan is in his hand, and he will throughly purge his floor, and gather his wheat into the garner; but he will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire.”
In today’s quote, John explained that his baptism was only a physical, outward washing in preparation for the coming of the Messiah, but Jesus would bring the true, soul-saving baptism of the Holy Ghost, separating the genuine believers from the false just as wheat is separated from chaff. ~
