Today, we talk about the first encounter of Jesus with John the Baptist. John's preaching of the kingdom shows us the true meaning of repentance – not as something we must do to prepare for the gospel promise, but something God does to us with the word of judgment. We also talk about the meaning of John's baptism, and its relationship to the Christian sacrament of baptism.

The first episode of Preaching the Text introduces the hosts, Dr. Steven Paulson and Pr. John Hoyum, as they start this new study of the Sunday lectionary texts. Today, we begin with special attention on the gospel reading from Matthew. This text is about the return of Christ in judgment. Though usually something people fear, Dr. Paulson shows that their is surprising good news of when Christ arrives.
