Luke 3:15-18
15 As the people were filled with expectation, and all were questioning in their hearts concerning John, whether he might be the Messiah,[a] 16 John answered all of them by saying, “I baptize you with water; but one who is more powerful than I is coming; I am not worthy to untie the thong of his sandals. He will baptize you with[b] the Holy Spirit and fire. 17 His winnowing fork is in his hand, to clear his threshing floor and to gather the wheat into his granary; but the chaff he will burn with unquenchable fire.”
One thing you notice about John is his humility. People wondered whether he might be the Messiah, and John squelched those rumors. He understood his role as the one who prepared the way for Jesus. Would people describe you as a “humble” person? How does humility help us to be faithful ambassadors for Christ?
