The Baptism of Jesus

January 01, 2023

Passage: Matthew 3:13-17

Jesus lived with His family in Nazareth and grew to be a man. Jesus knew that soon He would begin His special work.

One day Jesus walked from His home in Galilee, looking for His cousin John. Jesus wanted John to baptize Him.

John knew Jesus was more important than John was. In fact, John thought he should not be the one to baptize Jesus. “I need to be baptized by You, Jesus,” John said.

But this is not what Jesus wanted. Jesus said John must baptize Him because this was God’s commandment. Jesus wanted to obey God.

So John baptized Jesus in the Jordan River.

Jesus got up out of the water. Suddenly, the sky became very bright and something like a dove came toward Jesus.

Then Jesus heard a voice say, “You are My beloved Son. I am well-pleased with You!”

God was speaking to Jesus! God was pleased with His Son.
