October 13, 2013
But when the kindness and love of God our
Savior appeared, 5 he saved us, not because of
righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy. He saved us
through the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit,6
whom he poured out on us generously through Jesus Christ our
Savior (Titus 3:4-6 NIV)
Matthew: 3:1-6(NLT) In those days John the Baptist came
to the Judean wilderness and began preaching. His message was, 2 “Repent
of your sins and turn to God, for the Kingdom of Heaven is near.[a]” 3 The
prophet Isaiah was speaking about John when he said, “He is a voice shouting in
the wilderness, ‘Prepare the way for the Lord’s coming!
Clear the road for him!’” 4 John’s clothes were woven from coarse
camel hair, and he wore a leather belt around his waist. For food he ate
locusts and wild honey. 5 People from
Jerusalem and from all of Judea and all over the Jordan Valley went out to see
and hear John. 6 And when they confessed
their sins, he baptized them in the Jordan River.
