"At that time Jesus went from Galilee to the Jordan, that John might baptize him," Matthew 3:13. At this time Jesus was already adult, that is, independent. Therefore, baptism is not for children who depend on their parents, baptism is for those who are old enough. "But he hath dissuaded him, saying, I must baptize with thee, and thou comest to me? But Jesus said to him, "Leave it alone for a while, because it is fitting for us to fulfill all righteousness." Then he admitted it, "Matthew 3:14, 15. John the Baptist did not want to baptize Jesus, because he was smaller than the Messiah, although it was great because Jesus Christ himself said that John was more than a prophet.

Anyone get small close to Jesus!

"When Jesus was baptized, he went out immediately from the water, and behold, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove coming upon him" (Matthew 3:16). Understand that this act is not only for Jesus, but the heavens open when a life is baptized. "And behold a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased" (Matthew 3:17). Who would not want to hear that God himself takes pleasure in his life? But know that when He sent Jesus to the cross, He declared His infinite love. Then Jesus was taken into the wilderness ... but when He was sure of the Father's love, then everything got easier, because He knew that desert would pass. So it is with us also, when we are sure of God's love, everything becomes lighter, even the desert. Unfortunately, many people question God's love for being in the wilderness, but it is in the wilderness that all of them will feel the love of God! After Jesus fasted, the devil appeared to tempt him: "Then the tempter came and said to him, If thou be the Son of God, command these stones to become bread" (Matthew 4: 3). The moment the body is tired the devil comes to try, but when we are sure of God's love, nothing shakes us. Everything that is written in the Bible is true, so He loves you infinitely, and someday He will come back to get your church, hallelujah! Know that no matter what you have done, He loves you, and much! And He will always love you! Come back to Christ my brother, He wants to be with you at all times, He wants to be with you even in the desert. God bless your day!
