EP 30 | John Baptized Jesus?! (Yes—and It Matters): Matthew 3 | KJ & Marilyn (The Bible Cyclist)

In this episode, KJ and I (his mom, Marilyn) explore John the Baptist and his wilderness ministry in Chapter 3. We focus on John's warnings of hellfire to the religious people who didn't really love God. We conclude the miraculous baptism of Jesus by John; God spoke, and the Holy Spirit rested on Jesus, proclaiming him the Son of God. Takeaways: John the Baptist preached repentance and preparation for Jesus. Baptism symbolizes a change of heart and life. *Religious leaders like Pharisees and Sadducees were often hypocritical. John the Baptist's role was to prepare the way for Jesus. God's love for Jesus is affirmed at His baptism. Biblical baptism is full immersion in water. The separation of the faithful from the unfaithful followers of God is a key theme.
