23 Apr 2014; Mat 3

3 groups of people came to John for baptism:
the ordinary people
the religious leader and
Jesus

Did John baptize all 3 groups?
In a very obvious statement in Mat 3 - only the first and Jesus. The second group had a scolding.

Did the religious leadercome to be baptize or did they come to see what is John doing?
In a most likely case - the latter.

This is definitely a contrast and the question is which group do we fall into. The first group probably know God and a desire to know God better. The second group definitely know God but probably think that they did not need to know God better.

The knowledge puts one ahead or in the head, but how to let God know me - so much so that He know me and I know Him that I can hear Him.

How then to be able to hear from God? Be close. How? Communication. Spend time. But the religious leader also know God and spend time studying the word.

It is therefore not about knowing the truths but the application of truth.

It is then how we take the words and applied the truths.
