Commentary on Matthew 3:122 voices
“Whose fan - That is, the word of the Gospel. His floor - That is, his Church, which is now covered with a mixture of wheat and chaff. He will gather the wheat into the garner - Will lay up those who are truly good in heaven.”
John Wesley · Explanatory Notes upon the New Testament, 1755Evangelical
“These verses describe the ministry of John the Baptist, the forerunner of our Lord Jesus Christ: it is a ministry that deserves close attention. Few preachers ever produced such effects as John the Baptist: ‘There went out to him Jerusalem and all Judea and all the region round about Jordan.’None ever received such praise from the great head of the church: Jesus called him ‘a burning and a shining light’ ( John 5:35 ); the great Bishop of souls Himself declared, that ‘among them that are born of women there hath not risen a greater than John the Baptist.’”
