What river was Jesus baptized in? - BIBLE QUIZ






*************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************
ANSWER: Jordan River
Matthew 3:13-17 - "Then Jesus came from Galilee to the Jordan to John, to be baptized by him. 14 John would have prevented him, saying, “I need to be baptized by you, and do you come to me?” 15 But Jesus answered him, “Let it be so now, for thus it is fitting for us to fulfill all righteousness.” Then he consented. 16 And when Jesus was baptized, immediately he went up from the water, and behold, the heavens were opened to him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and coming to rest on him; 17 and behold, a voice from heaven said, “This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased.”

ENCOURAGING WORD:
Pleased With Jesus
"In those days Jesus came from Nazareth in Galilee and was baptized by John in the Jordan. Immediately coming up out of the water, He saw the heavens opening, and the Spirit like a dove descending upon Him; and a voice came out of the heavens: `You are My beloved Son, in You I am well-pleased.'" - Mark 1:9-11.

Thoughts for Today

After Jesus' baptism, the Father declared that He was "well-pleased" with His Son. It's interesting that He declared this conclusion before Jesus' ministry had begun. Jesus hadn't preached a sermon or healed the sick. He hadn't called any disciples or cast out any demons. Why would the Father be so "pleased" at this particular time?

First, He was pleased with Jesus' obedience. He had been faithful to follow the leading of the Father and had been sensitive to His timing. The Father also was pleased with Jesus' character—how He had received favor with His family and with others in the community (Luke 2:52).

In the process, Jesus provided an example for each of us. If we want the Father to be well-pleased with us, we need to focus on being obedient. We should know God's Word and obey it. We need to be aware of the leading of the Holy Spirit and ready to follow Him.

We also must be faithful to complete the assignments we've been given, sensitive to the Father's timing and aware that "there is an appointed time for everything" (Ecclesiastes 3:1).

We need to demonstrate that we're concerned about God's Kingdom, eager to know Him better, and quick to listen to Him and do His will. We should seek to be people of character, who demonstrate spiritual maturity. We should strive to be good examples to others, faithful in our relationships. And we need to demonstrate humility and a Christ-like attitude in everything we do.

Today, learn from the example of Jesus. Make it your goal to be well-pleasing to the Father.

Prayer: Our Loving Heavenly Father, my desire is to please You. May my life bring You honor and glory. Help me to fulfill Your call on my life. Thank you for hearing and answering my prayer. Gratefully, In Jesus Loving Name I Pray, Amen."
