Matthew 3:11
_ _ I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance — (See on Matthew 3:6);
_ _ but he that cometh after me is mightier than I — In Mark and Luke this is more emphatic — “But there cometh the Mightier than I” (Mark 1:7; Luke 3:16).
_ _ whose shoes — sandals.
_ _ I am not worthy to bear — The sandals were tied and untied, and borne about by the meanest servants.
_ _ he shall baptize you — the emphatic “He”: “He it is,” to the exclusion of all others, “that shall baptize you.”
_ _ with the Holy Ghost — “So far from entertaining such a thought as laying claim to the honors of Messiahship, the meanest services I can render to that ‘Mightier than I that is coming after me’ are too high an honor for me; I am but the servant, but the Master is coming; I administer but the outward symbol of purification; His it is, as His sole prerogative, to dispense the inward reality.” Beautiful spirit, distinguishing this servant of Christ throughout!
_ _ and with fire — To take this as a distinct baptism from that of the Spirit — a baptism of the impenitent with hell-fire — is exceedingly unnatural. Yet this was the view of Origen among the Fathers; and among moderns, of Neander, Meyer, De Wette, and Lange. Nor is it much better to refer it to the fire of the great day, by which the earth and the works that are therein shall be burned up. Clearly, as we think, it is but the fiery character of the Spirit’s operations upon the soul — searching, consuming, refining, sublimating — as nearly all good interpreters understand the words. And thus, in two successive clauses, the two most familiar emblems — water and fire — are employed to set forth the same purifying operations of the Holy Ghost upon the soul. |
Matthew 3:11
He shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost and with fire — He shall fill you with the Holy Ghost, inflaming your hearts with that fire of love, which many waters cannot quench. And this was done, even with a visible appearance as of fire, on the day of pentecost. |
Matthew 3:11
(5) I indeed baptize you with water unto (l) repentance: but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Spirit, and [with] fire:
(5) We may neither dwell upon the signs which God has ordained as means to lead us into our salvation, neither upon those that minister them: but we must climb up to the matter itself, that is to say, to Christ, who inwardly works that effectually, which is outwardly signified to us.
(l) The outward sign reminds us of this, that we must change our lives and become better, assuring us as by a seal, that we are ingrafted into Christ; by which our old man dies and the new man rises up; (Romans 6:4). |
