Matthew 3:11-12
"I baptize you with water for repentance. But after me comes one who is more powerful than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire. His winnowing fork is in his hand, and he will clear his threshing floor, gathering his wheat into the barn and burning up the chaff with unquenchable fire."

It is a significant passage in the New Testament where John the Baptist speaks about his ministry and contrasts it with the greater ministry of Jesus Christ. John the Baptist was a prophet who came before Jesus to prepare the way for Him. He preached a message of repentance and baptized people in the Jordan River as a symbol of their repentance and purification from sin.
John’s call to repentance and water baptism prepares the way for Jesus’ ministry, emphasizing the need for a heart change. John the Baptist underscores that Jesus' ministry is far superior, marked by the giving of the Holy Spirit and the purifying Fire of the holy ghost. The imagery of the winnowing fork and the separation of wheat and chaff highlights the dual aspects of Jesus' work: saving the righteous and judging the wicked.
Matthew 3:11-12 highlights the transition from John the Baptist’s ministry to that of Jesus Christ, emphasizing the greater spiritual baptism Jesus would bring and the ultimate judgment He will execute. These verses call believers to repentance, readiness for the transformative work of the Holy Spirit, and awareness of the coming judgment.
