🌙 11 - I (John the Baptizer) baptize you with water for repentance! But he who is coming after me is mightier than I! I’m not worthy to even carry his sandals. HE, will baptize you with the Holy Spirit! And with fire! 12 His winnowing fork is in his hand! He will clear his threshing floor! And gather his wheat into the barn! But the chaff he will burn away with unquenchable fire!” {Truth will overturn all tables of falsehood. This unavoidable, all important contrast, life as we presently know it, is THE crucible, imperfection/entropy, a slow gehenna that “doesn’t quit”. The dis-ease as part of the cure. Burns away the chaff from off the kernel, to gems clear as crystal.}
13 Then Jesus came from Galilee to the Jordan River, to John, to be baptized by him. 14 John said, “I need to be baptized by you! And you come to me!?” 15 But Jesus said, “Let it be so, for it’s fitting for us to fulfill all righteousness.” Then John was willing, 16 and when Jesus came up from the water, the heavens were opened, and John saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove from above, and it came to rest upon him. 17 And he heard a voice from heaven saying, “This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased.”
