In the name of the father, son , and holy ghost. Jesus put on the flesh of those he went to, being in the likeness of those he went to. Though he was in a high place, he lowered himself to be as like us for the possibility, (just for a might), that he might reach us and so allowing us to be one with himself. He considered himself not to be greater than anyone else. He wanted all to have the life that he had. For none of you are any greater than any other and if you think you are worthy of the kingdom of God and yet Love not all other as your self, you will not have that inheritance. lower yourselves and create the chain that will lift others up. For the first shall be last and the last shall be first. Jesus lowered himself into the waters of Johns world and in doing so, he was able to better understand John and to be beside John and trusted by John and find that good that was in john in order to guide him in the right direction. For it must be ...this way, first you must baptize me and later I will come to baptize you. In order to pick some one up, we must stoop down below them and then we can raise them above ourselves, holding up them things that are good within that person and sending them on up then chain of our fellow Christian workers. We are to lift people up not pull them up. It is like indirect teaching. We are not giving them laws to follow or telling them what they must do. Rather we are setting up a way for them to see things on their own and helping them up to the next stage and from their one of our fellow workers in Christ shall water that seed and do the same. For that which someone finds on their own, they will hold more dear and true than that which was given to them. In this way as they start to run because of what they are learning, they will most likely run as if on fire and run to win the race. We are to set ourselves up in many offices in this manner in Christ, all working together as one but in many different positions lifting people up to one another and setting them on fire for Christ, that they will become one with us in God-speed and join with us in this work. Or we can just keep doing what we have been doing and continue to lose all the world and no one inherit the kingdom of God. Jesus told us what to do. And the time is hand.
Answer2: The reason for John's baptizing was that the Messiah might be made manifest to Israel. According to John 3:26-30 the Messiah's ministry would increase, but John's ministry was to decrease. The baptism of Jesus himself performed by John was not an act symbolizing repentance since Jesus was already in a covenant relationship with Jehovah God ; Jesus baptism symbolized the presentatiom of himself to do God's will as outlined in the Scriptures for the Messiah. Total immersion in water is the proper form of baptism for believers. After Jesus was baptized in the Jordan River, he came "up out of the water." Mark 1:10 "And immediately on coming up out of the water, he saw the heavens being parted, and like a dove, the spirit coming down upon him."
No; John the Baptist baptized Jesus in the River Jordan.
Jesus Christ. God sent John the Baptist to baptize. God gave him the authority to baptize and he baptized Jesus. The "Baptist" denomination is the only denomination mentioned in The Bible. The Baptist church originated with Jesus Christ in the land of Israel.
we call him that because he was the first to legitimately baptize, and because he baptized Jesus
He baptized into water, but the one coming after him (Jesus) would baptize into the Holy Spirit.
Actually nobody did baptize John the Baptist.
John the Baptist is said to be the forerunner of Jesus Christ, for it was John who prepared the way for Him. To testify that Jesus, who was to come, was in fact the son of God. It was Johns responsibility to baptize Jesus. Finally, John was the only legal administrator in the affairs of the kingdom.
Nobody.
Because it was By St. John's Baptism that Our Lord was Anointed as the Messiah.
john was only a human, so he could only bless you with mortal things. but Jesus, however, can bless you with immortal things.
yes, by John the Baptist (Matthew 3:13-17) When Jesus asked John to baptize Him, John was surprised and said, "I need to be baptized by You! And you're coming to me?!" But Jesus said he had to to fulfill all righteousness. Baptism isn't necessary for salvation, but when you are saved baptism is a commandment from God.
It is well taken by most people that John the Baptist, is the forerunner of the annointed, and that he did baptize Jesus. But, based on the KJVB accounts in the New Testament, there is no evidence that could support that question.However, was is very clear is that John was beheaded.
If you ever read the bible or watched a movie about John the Baptist he said that he knew that Jesus was the son of God and he really didn't have a problem with that. And when John the Baptist baptized the Son of God, before he even did it he fell to his knees and said to Jesus that he wasn't worthy enough to baptize Him.
