A Baptism of Repentance | Dreaming Beneath the Spires







Mark 1: 4 Blog Through the Bible Project

4 And so John the Baptist appeared in the wilderness, preaching a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins. 

Repentance. Changer la vie in French probably gives as better idea of what it means, or metanoia in koine Greek, changing one’s soul.

I am presuming that my readers are Christians, or Christ-seekers.


If we could easily change our lives, and live purer, more Christ-like lives, we would have done so.


And that is why the coming of the Holy Spirit to us who are weary and heavy-laden, and feel powerless to do all the good things we know we should do is such good news.


Come Lord Jesus. Come Holy Spirit. We fail in love and unselfishness. We fail. Help us.
