Today's Scripture: Luke 3:15-18 Insight Fire shows up in the Bible in literal and figurative ways. As a common source of light and heat, it’s a word picture for both the danger and consequences of sin (Proverbs 6:27–28; Isaiah 9:18) and for God (Deuteronomy 4:24).

Being king, of course, he had the ability to forestall action by whichever human authority would have dared to enforce the law. But the Lord’s han […]
