Homophobia doesn't lead to repentance. Guilt might, but the Accuser was a murderer from the beginning and knows how to make people feel guilty, too. And believing that there can be no forgiveness is the last thought that went through Judas' mind.
Maybe if that kid knew just what happened on a Friday two thousand years ago he'd still be alive. Maybe others would too. But how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them?
But what shall we preach? That there is no law and therefore no transgression?
And so John came, baptizing in the desert region and preaching a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins.
