Remember what it took to get your first drivers' license?  And what it takes nowadays to renew one - especially if you want one of those TSA-compliant licenses?  Imagine if you could get a "Family License", one that would allow anyone in your immediate family to drive on that license, without each person having to go through all the hassle of getting their own!  The "righteousness of Christ" is a little like that - Jesus has done all the work to get God's righteousness for us, and through His baptism and ours He shares it with us.  So what do we do with that gift?  In today's Gospel lesson John the Baptist tells three different groups of people (and in turn, all of us) how we can use that gift in God-pleasing ways.
