6: John’s baptism was to show true repentance. He would not administer it to those who would not truly repent of their sins. Those who partook were voluntarily saying that they were unworthy of the coming Messiah. They were confessing their ill-preparedness due to sin in their lives. They were confessing a change of attitude toward their sin, which they would now endeavor to amend to be more worthy of the coming Messiah.
