Be baptized. Repent. Be generous. Don’t rely on your heritage. John the Baptist was a lot of things- but scared isn’t one of them. He didn’t hesitate and didn’t mince his words. His job was to prepare the people to hear the message of Jesus and he did that by proclaiming a message of repentance. For everyone. EVERYONE. Jesus may be for everyone, but so is the need for repentance. And so is the need for someone to tell them.
