Matthew 3:11-17

In the beginning of chapter 3 of Matthew, John the Baptist was preaching the message of repentance & was baptizing those confessing their sins.

(11) I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance; but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear; he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire: (12)Whose fan is in his hand, and he will throughly purge his floor, and gather his wheat into the garner; but he will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire. (13)Then cometh Jesus from Galilee to Jordan unto John, to be baptized of him. (14)But John forbad him, saying I have need to be baptized of thee, and comest thou to me? (15)And Jesus answering said, "Suffer it to be so now for thus it becometh us to fulfil all righteousness." Then he suffered him. (16)And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water and lo the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him: (17)And lo a voice from heaven saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.

I can't imagine how John must have felt to be in the presence of Christ, then the honor of baptizing him. To witness the Holy Spirit magnified in Jesus Christ! What a humbling reading.

I pray that all I do daily would be pleasing to my heavenly father!
Be A Blessing!
