In Matthew 3: 1 - 12, Mark 1: 2 - 8, Luke 3: 1 - 18 we read about the ministry of John the Baptist. John appears in the wilderness, proclaiming a message of repentance and preparing the way for the coming of Jesus. He baptizes people in the Jordan River and warns them of the judgment to come.
John's message is one of humility, urging people to turn away from their sins and to focus on God's will for their lives. He also declares that someone more powerful than he is coming, who will baptize with the Holy Spirit and with fire. John's ministry sets the stage for the arrival of Jesus and the beginning of his own ministry on earth.
