✝️Baptism of the Lord

Sermon 🕊️

📖Matthew 3:13-17

13 Then Jesus came from Galilee to the Jordan to John, to be baptized by him.

14 But John restrained Him, saying, “I need to be baptized by You, and are You coming to me?”

15 But Jesus answered and said to him, “Let it alone now, for thus it is fitting for us to fulfill all righteousness.” Then John allowed Him to go.

16 And when Jesus was baptized, He went up straightway from the water. And behold, the heavens were opened to Him, and John saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and lighting on Him.

17 And behold, a voice from heaven said, “This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.”🙏
