After the snapshot of Jesus at age twelve, the Bible gives us no more information about His life until about age 30, when He meets His cousin John at the Jordan River and asks John to baptize Him.
John was a special prophet, foretold by the Old Testament prophets as one who would “prepare the way for the Lord.” John’s birth was also announced by the Angel Gabriel, and he was a quite interesting character, dressed in his skin robes and eating his diet of locusts and wild honey in the wilderness of Judea.
But John knew his calling, and He knew his cousin Jesus, whom he called “The Lamb of God Who takes away the sins of the world.”
We will learn this Sunday about the event that marked the beginning of Jesus’ earthly ministry, as He entered the waters of the Jordan to be immersed as an example we, too, should follow. Please join us, and bring a friend! It would be great to see you.
Tom and Sydney Cook
