Brood of vipers! What would cause John to accuse these religious insiders of such immorality? Simple. Although they looked good on the outside, doing all the right things in public fo r people to see, there was darkness in their souls.
You see, in preparing for Jesus coming, decking the halls isn't nearly as important as being real with God, laying our souls before Him in repentance and confession. When we do that we find the Holy Spirit decorating our lives with amazing ornaments. Take these for instance:
- Love
- Joy
- Peace
- Patience
- Kindness
- Goodness
- Faithfulness
- Gentleness
- Self-control
And the best part about it is that these decorations don't get packed away when the new year comes.
