Psalm 29
God’s glory is a forest fire.
Luke 3:15 ESV
As the people were in expectation, and all were questioning in their hearts concerning John, whether he might be the Christ,
People: Messiah is coming! Hurray!
Luke 3:16–17 ESV
John answered them all, saying, “I baptize you with water, but he who is mightier than I is coming, the strap of whose sandals I am not worthy to untie. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire. His winnowing fork is in his hand, to clear his threshing floor and to gather the wheat into his barn, but the chaff he will burn with unquenchable fire.”
John: Messiah is coming, and the world is going to burn.
The arrival of Messiah is the arrival of God.
Luke 3:18 ESV
So with many other exhortations he preached good news to the people.
Why is the burning of the world good news?
Fire shows us our chaff.
Fire shows us our values.
Fire shows us our mission.
