Today as we read chapter 3 of the Gospel of Luke we notice Jesus is now 30 years old. We are introduced again to John the Baptist as he preaches repentance and baptism. John required “Fruit” proof of life before baptism. Are you and I living a “proof of repentance” life? When salvation happens you’re transformed into a new creation in Christ and your life should change. There should be some indications of the new life. A prayer does not make one saved, the spirit that convicts and then invades one’s life makes one saved.
Here we see the start of Jesus’ earthly ministry. This is the start of His journey to gain disciples and to die on the cross. Christ’ purpose in life was to glorify the Father and die on the cross. In Christ our purpose is to glory the Father and to take up our cross. You are a new creation in Christ, let Him shine through you.
