Jesus’ Baptism | John 1:19-42; 3:22-36 (Matthew 3)
In week 3, we find Jesus at the Jordan River (John 1:1942 and John 3:22-36). Jesus’ cousin, John the Baptist, was out by the Jordan River baptizing people and preparing the way for the Promised Savior. When Jesus came for John to baptize Him, John initially refused, but this was God’s plan. John knew that Jesus was God’s Son sent to rescue the world. John even told his own disciples to leave him and follow Jesus.
