John the Baptist was the greatest of all prophets.
He preached the baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sin.
One day Jesus, his younger cousin, came down to the river and asked for baptism.
But John wanted to be baptized by Jesus, instead.
Jesus told John, as an example to all men, that he should be baptized.
Jesus was baptized. He came up out of the water, and
God the Father spoke from heaven and said,
"This is my beloved son in whom I am well pleased".
And the holy spirit in the form of a dove came to rest on Jesus' shoulder.
Amen
