The Baptism of Our Lord

Sermon Text: Matthew 3:13-17

"[13] Then Jesus came from Galilee to the Jordan to John, to be baptized by him. [14] John would have prevented Him, saying, ‘I need to be baptized by You, and do You come to me?’ [15] But Jesus answered him, ‘Let it be so now, for thus it is fitting for us to fulfill all righteousness.’ Then he consented. [16] And when Jesus was baptized, immediately He went up from the water, and behold, the heavens were opened to Him, and He saw the Spirit of god descending like a dove and coming to rest on Him; [17] and behold, a voice from heaven said, ‘This is My beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased.’"
