Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Public Ministry of Jesus
This time had come, said John; the crisis was close at hand. Even now the axe is laid at the root of the trees; every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down and cast into the fire. I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance, but the Strong One that fol lows me shall baptize you with the Holy Spirit and with fire, whose fan is in his hand, and he will thoroughly cleanse his threshing ?oor and he will gather his wheat into the gamer, but. The chaff he will burn with unquenchable fire.
The fierce zeal of the Jewish people was deeply stirred by his preaching; from all parts of the country they poured down to the J ordan: in throngs to listen to the appeals of the desert. Preacher, and thousands accepted his baptism of repentance.
