When “the word of the Lord came to Jonah the second time,” sending him to preach judgment against the great city of Nineveh, “Jonah arose and went to Nineveh, according to the word of the Lord” (Jonah 3:3). By this preaching, the people were brought to repentance. Because they “believed God,” as He spoke to them through His prophet, “they turned from their evil way” and were spared “the disaster that He had said He would do to them” (Jonah 3:5, 10).

St. Paul also warns that “the appointed time has grown very short” (1 Cor. 7:29). Therefore, while we live in this world and deal with it, we are not to cling to it, nor put our trust in it, for “the present form of this world is passing away” (1 Cor. 7:31). Rather, give “your undivided devotion to the Lord” (1 Cor. 7:35). When our Lord Jesus Christ comes and is proclaimed in the Gospel, “the time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand” (Mark 1:14–15). Therefore, He still calls men and sends them to become “fishers of men” with the net of that Gospel (Mark 1:17).

At the Baptism of Jesus, He was made manifest to the world as the One whom John the Baptist had been preparing for, namely the Messiah (The Anointed One).  He was anointed then as our Prophet, Priest, and King.  This is recounted in our Gospel lesson.

Jesus would go on to institute this sacred washing as a sacrament, a means by which the Holy Spirit would give and strengthen faith, wash away our sins, and impart the righteousness of Christ.  Through baptizing and teaching the church carries out the benediction of Isaiah upon the Christ, that God would make Him “a light for the Gentiles, that you may bring my salvation to the ends of the earth.” (Isaiah 49:6)

We see this very thing carried out in our lesson from the Acts of the Apostles, where in the city of Philippi the jailor and his whole household were taught and baptized and came to faith in the Lord Jesus Christ as Savior.  To this day, God continues to work through the gospel and through the sacrament of Holy Baptism to give and strengthen faith, so that His kingdom comes and His will is done to the salvation of men, women, and children.
