After 30 years of obscurity, Jesus knew the time had come for Him to do what He came to do. But how would everything begin? Jesus went down to the Jordan River to be baptized by a man named John. His baptism affirmed both His identity as the Son of God and His mission as the Savior of the world. For people who want to follow Jesus, baptism offers the opportunity to express confidence and commitment to God. Speaker: Jared Cowgur Scripture: Matthew 3:1-17
