Does What You Say Match Who You Are? (Matthew 3:7-12)

Does What You Say Match Who You Are? (Matthew 3:7-12)

 This passage finds John the Baptist ministering to people in the countryside.Out of all the people that came to hear John preach, two groups (the Pharisees and the Sadducees) were a part of the crowd.John recognized these two groups as all flash and no reality.He confronted them about their hypocrisy.How often do people today fit into this scenario?We have a tendency to talk about our relationship with Christ but our lives don’t always match up with what we say.If John were to preach to us, would he say the same thing that he said to them?
