'John the Baptist" sermon topic
Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Hanna
welcomed members in the entry at
Knox United Church on Sunday
morning.
As December 3 was the first
Sunday of Advent Rev. Peter D.
Tucker centred the remarks for his
sermon on John the Baptist, the
forerunner of Jesus.
The Gospel Lesson was Luke 3:
1-23. John the Baptist sounded a
trumpet in the wilderness of Judea
heralding the coming of the Lord.
John was a solitary man with long
unkempt hair. He wore a coat of
camel’s hair and survived on a diet
of wild locusts. He was rough,
uncouth and blunt; but his mes
sage, “Turn away from your sins,
be baptized and God will forgive
you”, was the same for the rich and
the poor. What people thought of
him was irrelevant. It finally cost
him his life when he accosted
Herod about his wrong life style.
Many people had accepted John’s
message. They were either includ
ed in God’s plans or against them.
The same challenges of sharing our
food and clothing exists today. We
make the decision.
At Christmas, can we refuse
others? The children’s story which
preceded the sermon related a
similar message. Mrs. Dan McBur-
ney took charge of the children in
the schoolroom during the service.
The choir sang “Great is the
Lord” with organ accompaniment
by Mrs. George Procter. Offertory
stewards were Kenneth Procter
and Donald Procter
