The Baptism Of Jesus

Verses of the day - John 1:33-34 (NRSV)

I myself did not know him, but the one who sent me to baptize with water said to me, "He on whom you see the Spirit descend and remain is the one who baptizes with the Holy Spirit.  And I myself have seen and have testified that this is the Son of God.

In chapter 8 of my first book, Jesus speaks to us about His Baptism.

Excerpt from Spirituality, A Journey For My Soul

My Baptism was a necessity.  The power of the Holy Spirit was made available for everyone present to see.  Many people were converted that day.  It was through My Baptism that My main ministry began.  Even though My disciples had already been chosen, through My Baptism I was able to lead them in a new direction.  Through My Baptism, many people came to realize that I was truly the Son of God.

Jesus was Baptized by John.  Through His Baptism, He was anointed by the Holy Spirit.  It was then, that Jesus began His main ministry.  Through the power of the Holy Spirit, many people came to believe in Jesus.
