John's Baptism of Christ
John's Baptism of Christ
This is recorded in Mark 1:9-10, where we read:
"And it came to pass in those days, that Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was baptized ("BAPTIZO," immersed) of John in Jordan. (9) And straightway coming UP OUT OF THE WATER, he saw the heavens opened, and the Spirit like a dove descending upon him." (See also Matthew 3:16)
John baptized our Lord by immersion; as it would have been illogical to "come up out of the water," unless you went down under the water! No, John didn't go to the Jordan River, get a pan of water and sprinkle our Lord; he immersed the Lord Jesus.
