But Luke chapter 3, we've got some interesting stuff here. We're about to see the lead up to Jesus' ministry. We're going to look at John the Baptist walking in his calling. We're going to look at Jesus briefly getting baptized. And then there's a genealogy at the end of Luke chapter 3. And we're going to identify the importance of the genealogy. Why is there a genealogy in Luke chapter 3?
Let's get into it. In the 15th year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, Pontius Pilate being governor of Judea and Herod being tetrarch of Galilee and his brother Philip, tetrarch of the region of Euteria and Trachonitis and Lysanias, tetrarch of Abilene. During the high priesthood of Annas and Caiaphas, the word of God came to John, the son of Zechariah in the wilderness.
Luke is painting the picture of both the governmental corruption and the religious corruption at the time. Caiaphas was the high priest at the time, But Annas actually had the religious influence at the time.
And if you look back in history on both these religious figures and over the government figures that we see, Tiberius Caesar, Pontius Pilate, I mean, Pontius Pilate was known towards his kind of hard heart towards the Jews. So, I mean, you've got Luke displaying the corruption in both areas of life at this time period. because he's preparing the way of Jesus Christ to heal all things.
So he's setting the scene here going, it's extremely corrupt. And he went into all region around the Jordan, proclaiming a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins. So John the Baptist's message here is one of repentance. John isn't preaching feelings here. He's not preaching, say sorry and keep doing what you're doing. Because that's not repentance. That's abusing God's grace.
And a lot of people do that today. They go, oh, well, God's going to forgive me so I can do whatever I want. And then when I feel sorry about it, I'll say I'm sorry, God will forgive me, and then I can keep doing what I'm wanting. No. The message of repentance that John is preaching is this. You're walking towards sin.
And you finally get convicted and realize that the lifestyle of sin that you're living is one that you weren't originally designed to make. You were designed in the image of God. And this lifestyle of sin is not your original design. You fall on your knees out of conviction. You cry out to the Lord and you say, God, I repent. Forgive me of my sins.
After you ask for forgiveness, you do a complete 180. You turn around from walking towards sin and you start running and chasing after the goal of Jesus Christ. Because that's the goal of repentance. Changing you from your old way of life and giving you a completely new way of life in Jesus Christ, your original design.
