(Lesson 5314)(08-24-26) Luke 3:1-6
“Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, Pontius Pilate being governor of Judaea, and Herod being tetrarch of Galilee, and his brother Philip tetrarch of Ituraea and of the region of Trachonitis, and Lysanias the tetrarch of Abilene, Annas and Caiaphas being the high priests, the word of God came unto John the son of Zacharias in the wilderness. And he came into all the country about Jordan, preaching the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins; As it is written in the book of the words of Esaias the prophet, saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight. Every valley shall be filled, and every mountain and hill shall be brought low; and the crooked shall be made straight, and the rough ways shall be made smooth; And all flesh shall see the salvation of God.”
Today's quote relates that during the fifteenth year of Emperor Tiberius's reign; the word of God came to John the Baptist in the desert. He traveled throughout the region of the Jordan, preaching a baptism of repentance for the remission of sins, fulfilling Isaiah's prophecy to prepare the way of the Lord and declare that all flesh will see the salvation of God. ~
