Literally millions of gift boxes are distributed each year in the project they call Operation Christmas Child. In our brief orientation before we actually got to work, a training video explained each task. One of the jobs is that of a “sorter” – who makes sure only suitable stuff makes it into the shoe box. Even though the instructions are clear about how to pack the shoe boxes, there’s always some stuff that has to be thrown out. For instance, you can’t include used or damaged items; war-related items such as toy guns, knives or military figures; chocolate or food; liquids or lotions; medications or vitamins; breakable items such as snow globes or glass containers, or aerosol cans. On every team, one person checks each box to make sure none of that stuff gets in there. All the inappropriate stuff is thrown into the trash.

Here’s a hard truth: God is a God who sorts through human lives. He’s looking for those who will do the challenging task of sorting through their own lives – rejecting and jettisoning what hinders a vibrant relationship with Him. Ultimately, according to our passage this Sunday morning in Matthew 3:1-12, many will not respond and are destined for the spiritual dumpster. It doesn’t have to happen. Come hear what John the Baptist says distinguishes the wheat from the chaff.
