Reflection

Sunday 7th December 2025

Today, we considered the ministry and role of John the Baptist. The Lord spoke very highly of him and he got people ready for when the messiah was revealed. The baptism that people underwent was symbolic of a new start (a pledge to live a new life turning from sin), and John pointed to one who was to come later with a baptism of the spirit and fire.

We considered how we might make ourselves ready for when Christ is revealed again and what we might do to show forth the fruits of repentance; to get the highway ready for our Lords return?

Every blessing,

Rev`d The Corney
