What If Your Perspective Is Wrong? Matthew 3:1-12

In this powerful message from Matthew 3:1–12, we unpack the real purpose behind John the Baptist’s ministry—and how it demanded a radical shift in Israel’s perspective.

John wasn’t just calling for personal reflection—he was announcing the soon arrival of YHWH and the literal, physical, Messianic Kingdom promised to Israel. This wasn’t some vague Greco-Roman idea of an inner kingdom in the heart. It was a national, earthly reign just as the prophets foretold.

John’s baptism symbolized a public commitment to believe God's message and accept the Messiah when He appeared. It pointed forward to the cleansing and forgiveness God would offer through Jesus (cf. Ezekiel 36:25–27; Zechariah 13:1). Those who believed John’s message were spiritually prepared for the coming of Christ.

This sermon invites you to reconsider your own perspective. Are you seeing reality clearly—or through the wrong lens?
