 It’s difficult to appreciate just how good the good news truly is without first working through the bad news. Part of that was the responsibility of John the Baptist. He prepared the way for the good news of Jesus Christ by preaching repentance, which meant bringing to the forefront the bad news of sin.
Some readily received the bad news that they were sinners, which prepared them to receive the good news of complete forgiveness and the gift of righteousness. But some rejected the good news of Jesus Christ because they rejected the reality that they were sinners. In their self-righteousness, they were unable to believe, receive, and respond. Watch our study from Sunday as we continue our study in Matthew, once again examining the parallel passage in Luke and considering what Jesus has to say about self-righteousness. Comments are closed.
