Matthew 3:7 - 3:12
Gospel of MatthewSteve Gregg
In Matthew 3:7-12, Steve Gregg discusses John the Baptist's role as the forerunner to prepare for the coming of Christ. The Sadducees and Pharisees had differing views, with the former collaborating with Roman oppressors and the latter resisting them. Gregg explains that the Jewish people and their religion faced a tremendous judgment, which came in the form of the destruction of the temple in 70 A.D. He emphasizes the importance of repenting and putting faith in Christ as the way to enter the kingdom of God, regardless of one's genetic heritage.
