Rakes ☧

🗓️ (No Feast Day)

Rakes are lovable scoundrels, like the soldiers accompanying a tax collector to the River Jordan, where John the Baptizer gives them a piece of his mind in Luke 3:14. It was there that Jesus was baptized. We are told in Luke 7:29 that everyone had “been baptized with the baptism of John.” In other words, Jesus was baptized beside soldiers - you can’t get any earlier in Church history than that!

Mandatory Fun:

• God is a Grunt, chapter 5

• Luke’s Gospel (chapters 3 & 7)

• Day Three of #12saints12days

• “Luke 3” in the TRNG Room
