Jesus Before Christianity (2) John the Baptist and Jesus
Matthew 3:13-17; 11:1-6
May 16, 2021
Jesus chose to be baptized by John, who was a prophet of Israel. John’s message was clear: God was angry with the people and planned to punish them. John believed that everyone must repent and change. Although Jesus was baptized by John but did not follow everything John was doing. Jesus was different from John. Unlike John, the message of Jesus was for and with all people. John in the prison cell sent his disciple to Jesus to ask: Are you the one who is to come? Jesus simply answered, “Tell John what you have seen and heart: The blind receive sight, the lame walk, the deft hear and the dead are raised, and the good news is proclaimed to the poor.”
