Gavin says "Bede's translation of St. John's Gospel" & "Lord's Prayer is important for the history of English translation... . The Lord's Prayer teaches us...e.g. prayer should be directed to God in the words 'Our Father which art in heaven;' the importance of gospel evangelism, sanctification & the 2nd Advent in the words 'Thy kingdom come;' which when joined to the words 'For thine is the kingdom…For ever & ever' also point to the gift of eternal life; & the need to confess our sins in the words 'forgive us our trespasses.' And the Gospel of John which contains much rich doctrine for one who is saved is also a powerful evangelistic tool to one who is unsaved." In this sermon on Isa. 11:2; 61:1,2 dealing with the Baptism of Christ by John the Baptist at the start of Christ's Public Ministry, "Today's St. Bede's Day Sermon is a continuation of the Old Testament Messianic Prophecies series looking at some truly amazing prophecies written in the Old Testament long before their fulfilment in the New Testament, which 1stly demonstrate that Jesus is the Christ or Messiah who wonderfully fulfilled them; & 2ndly are a clear evidence of the Divine Inspiration of Holy Scripture! Today's sermon…is on the Baptism of Christ by John the Baptist & the commencement of Christ's 3 1/2 year Public Ministry here on earth. And …considering some awe-inspiring Biblical prophecies from 1stly & 2ndly Isaiah 11:2 in connection with Isaiah 61:1 & 2." In John 14:15; 15:26 "God the Holy Ghost is called "the Comforter" from Greek parakletos which has multiple layers of meaning, of which one is 'Comforter.' But this great Biblical truth…is lost on the lacking in comfort so called 'modern' versions."
