“Jesus Christ, the Anointed One”
Pr John Arndt
Matthew 3:13–17
Scripture
13 Then Jesus came from Galilee to the Jordan to be baptized by John. 14 But John
tried to deter him, saying, “I need to be baptized by you, and do you come to me?”
15 Jesus replied, “Let it be so now; it is proper for us to do this to fulfill all
righteousness.” Then John consented.
16 As soon as Jesus was baptized, he went up out of the water. At that moment
heaven was opened, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and
alighting on him. 17 And a voice from heaven said, “This is my Son, whom I love; with
him I am well pleased.”
