Sermon Text
John the Baptist urges those who are baptized to do the Law, despite baptism being all about the Gospel. Through baptism, Christ forgives our sins and brings us forth into new life. But this new life should joyfully do the Law because that is what is good for us to do. And even if we do not live out our baptisms perfectly, God has begun the good work of salvation in our baptisms and will bring it to completion with our resurrection in the day of Christ.
