A superior baptism

 

MAR 1:4-8

In response to his preaching, people came to John baptized for the remission of sin

John’s aim was to compel listeners to change their minds + behavior in preparation of the coming Messiah

LUK 1:15-17

MAT 3:1-12

Remember MAR 1:6 ? John’s clothing and appearance are no accident — it’s a callback a prophet of old

2KI 1:8

ZEC 13:4

John’s behavior helped him stand out to listeners, but some rejected him all the same

MAT 11:16-19

Baptism has a broader definition than you might think — people were baptized into Moses for example

1CO 10:1-4

Jesus Christ provided a greater baptism both then and now — he baptizes us and all believers with the Holy Spirit

ACT 19:1-6

JOH 7:37-39

We are baptized directly into the body of Christ, which is something John could never do

1CO 12:13-14

EPH 1:11-14

GAL 3:26-28

ROM 12:4-5

Enjoy the benefits of being permanently identified with Christ — and the Spirit we have because of Him
