“John answered, saying unto them all, I indeed baptize you with water; but one mightier than I cometh, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to unloose: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost and with fire:”
Luke 3:16 KJV
Isaiah had prophesied about John to prepare the way of the Lord and make straight the path for Him. John was clear that he was preparing the way for One mightier than him Who would baptise with the Holy Spirit and with fire. Jesus said before He was crucified, that it was better for Him to go so that the Holy Spirit would come to empower the disciples on the earth. After He rose from the dead and before He ascended, Jesus told the disciples to go and wait in Jerusalem so that the Holy Spirit would come down. The disciples obeyed and they were baptised with the Holy Spirit and empowered to be witness for Jesus. Let’s hunger and thirst to be baptised by Jesus, with the Holy Spirit and fire, so we can witness to the resurrection power of Jesus in us. Glory to God!
