    Jesus Was Baptized Too

    On this “Baptism of Jesus” Sunday we might very well ask what John asked. Why did Jesus need to be baptized? Like John it is also good for us to see our need for baptism by Jesus.

    John the Baptist. That name brings powerful images to mind. Camel’s hair clothes held together with a leather belt. Grasshoppers dipped in wild honey for a sweet and crunchy meal. Saying the morally right thing at the socially wrong time. John was the one who called the people who came to hear ...read more

    Jesus submits to the Father in baptism, although as John pointed out, he had no need to be baptized (he was without sin). However, Jesus is righteous by doing what is "right" and sets the example and standard for us.

    You're Right! You Don't Have To Get Baptized! Series

    Contributed by Jason Smith on Sep 15, 2013
     | 3,679 views

    It is interesting how we can allow what we have always been taught by others to affect how we look at what the Bible teaches. The subject of baptism is one such subject in which what many have always been taught leads them to suppress the truth.

    I have had many discussions about the subject of baptism with people, and it never fails that sometime during the discussion, they just deny what the scriptures say about the topic. They at times just say, “I deny what you are saying about about baptism,” ignoring the fact that all I am ...read more

    John The Baptist: Dramatic Monolog

    Contributed by Dean O'bryan on Jul 12, 2006
    based on 21 ratings
     | 11,710 views

    This is a monolog I wrote for a student at a Christian High School, then later I performed it myself. It incorporates John’s message, first of repentance, then of pointing people to Jesus as the Messiah.

    Introduction (I had someone read this before I came to the platform) It was a dark and discouraging time in Israel. A time of cultural and political unrest. But for men and women who knew God and were sensitive to Him, it was a time for prayer and seeking, a time of hope that He was about to do ...read more
