Each of the Gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John) emphasizes the radical nature of the choice we must make about the Kingdom of God and the coming of Jesus. Jesus is Good News. Jesus brings Good News. Jesus insures Good News. However, if we reject Jesus and the call of the Kingdom of God, we must hear the warnings of that choice.
In a world like ours, where few want ultimate choices and the vast majority resents having to deal with lasting consequences for moral and spiritual choices, John the Baptist’s preaching still has a penetrating, invigorating, and for some, an irritating, echo.
Like it or not, Jesus confronts us about a decision about who will rule our lives. The choice we make means everything!
