Teaching Jesus is baptized in the Jordan River

God looked down on Jesus and said, "This is my Son, and I love Him" - and God delights in His children.

  • John's special job was getting people ready for Jesus. How can we help get people's hearts ready for Jesus today?
  • When Jesus was baptized, God said, "This is my Son, and I love Him." How does it feel to know God loves you as His child?
  • John said he wasn't even good enough to carry Jesus' sandals. Why do you think John talked about Jesus that way?
