When Jesus submitted to John's water baptism, He left us an example; that we should follow His steps.
[Matt 3:13-15; 1 Pet 2:21(b)]
Baptism is the 'right of passage' unto salvation …and “He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved.”
[Mk 16:16]
Because we are physical beings, our salvation incorporates our physicality; hence, the water baptism, and, even the sacraments (the bread and the wine); all of which is a natural manifestation of a supernatural administration. [Pastor; 1 Cor 11:26]
“And Jesus (in Whom is salvation), when He was baptized, went straightway out of the water: and ...the heavens were opened to Him, and He saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon Him.”
And, after the wilderness temptation, Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit into Galilee; and His fame spread throughout the region. [Matt 3:16; Lk 4:14]
ThenSingsMySoul:
GO YE THEREFORE, AND TEACH ALL NATIONS,
GO, GO, GO! (repeat)
BAPTIZING THEM IN THE NAME OF THE FATHER,
THE SON, AND THE HOLY GHOST!
GO, GO, GO!
[Matt 28:19]
