As we read our daily reading in Matthew 3 today, It is the time when John the Baptist WARNED the people to repent or else like the unfruitful tree we will be thrown to hell.
He repeatedly warned the people that the ax is already laid to the root of the unfruitful trees.
John the baptist’s role is to prepare the way of Jesus and make the paths straight for everyone.
Let us reflect if these warnings of the Lord make us truly prepare our hearts and urge us to repent or to rebel against the bringer of the warning. Like the sadducees whom John called brood of vipers they saw John as ill wisher and foolish for they felt like he wants them to be in hell and they persecuted John. It is always the tendency of prideful people - to persecute and resist instead of reflecting.
God sends people to warn us because he loves us. Our reaction to these warnings show our maturity in faith and the purity of our hearts. Warnings are always scary so people would abide but still it’s our choice on how we take these warnings of the Lord.
If today you hear a warning harden not ur heart for the Lord is calling you.
Be the modern day John the Baptist - bring the warning to the people. Amen.
