About this listen

If baptism is for SINNERS, then why was JESUS baptized?

In Matthew 3, Jesus asked John to baptize him. That blew John's mind. And so, John told Him that it was the other way around - that Christ needed to baptize him!

John knew that Jesus had no sins that He needed to repent of, and no need to be 'washed clean.'

So why did Jesus insist on being baptized? That will be today's focus.

Questions That We'll Answer:

A) What sort of baptism was John doing by the Jordan River?

B) Were John's baptism the same as our modern, church age baptisms?

B) Why did Jesus say His baptism would 'fulfill all righteousness?'
