Following Jesus to the River's edge
This morning in our worship we consider the baptism of Jesus and will explore the reasons behind His willingness to be baptized, particularly when there was no apparent need for it. If John’s baptism was for repentance and the forgiveness of sins (Mark 1:4), then why would the sinless lamb of God even ask to be baptized? In this mornings sermon we will look at the Purpose, the Picture, and the Power given to us through this historic event in the life of Jesus from Matthew’s account in chapter three, verses 13-17.

What About Baptism
"What About Baptism" Matthew 3:11-17 11-12"I'm baptizing you here in the river, turning your old life in for a kingdom life. The real action comes next: the main character in this drama--compared to him I'm a mere stagehand--will ignite the kingdom life within you, a fire within you, the Holy Spirit within you, changing you from the inside out. He's going to clean house--make a clean sweep of your lives. He'll place everything true in its proper place before God; everything false He'll put out with the trash to be burned." 13-14Jesus then appeared, arriving at the Jordan River from Galilee. He wanted John to baptize Him. John objected, "I'm the one who needs to be baptized, not you!" 15But Jesus insisted. "Do it. God's work, putting things right all these centuries, is coming together right now in baptism." So John did it. 16-17The moment Jesus came up out of the baptismal waters, the skies opened up and He saw God's spirit--it looked like a dove--descending and landing on Him. And along with the Spirit, a voice: "This is my Son, chosen and marked by My love, delight of My life."

John 3:22-36 - This is Jesus: The Supreme Son of God
There are two root desires at the heart of the universe that are in opposition to one another and have been at war ever since the fall of Satan and the fall of Man: * Jealousy for the glory of God – the great desire to see that God receives all the glory and honor and praise that is rightfully his. * Jealousy of the glory of God – the great desire to have for oneself the glory that God alone deserves.
