I Baptized Jesus in the Jordan River (Matthew

Описание: THE BAPTISM OF JESUS: When Heaven Opened and God Spoke

This powerful first-person account takes you into the mind of John the Baptist at one of the most pivotal moments in human history - the baptism of Jesus Christ.

Imagine standing in the Jordan River, calling people to repentance, when suddenly you see Him approaching. The Lamb of God. The One you've been preparing the way for. The One whose sandals you're not worthy to untie.

John's hesitation was immediate and profound: "I should be baptized by You." But Jesus, in His gentle authority, responds: "Let it be so now." This moment of divine humility would change everything.

As Jesus stepped into those waters, the heavens themselves tore open. The Holy Spirit descended in the form of a dove. And then - the voice of God the Father thundered across the Jordan: "This is My beloved Son."

In that instant, John understood with crystal clarity: his voice had been preparing the way for the Word Himself. All the preaching, all the baptizing, all the wilderness years - they had led to this moment when heaven and earth collided.

This wasn't just another baptism. This was the inauguration of Jesus' public ministry. This was the Trinity revealed. This was the moment when the Father publicly affirmed the Son, and the Spirit anointed Him for the work ahead.


Scripture Reference: Matthew 3:16-17

"As soon as Jesus was baptized, he went up out of the water. At that moment heaven was opened, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and alighting on him. And a voice from heaven said, 'This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased.'"
