The Baptism of Jesus





I think this picture is a beautiful depiction of how powerful the moment was when the Savior came out of the water fulfilling all righteousness. He became the most perfect obedient person that has ever lived. In this moment it was recorded that there was separation from God , Jesus and the Holy Ghost. This is a doctrine that has been misunderstood through time.




Why was John hesitant to baptize the Savior?
        John did not feel worthy to baptize Jesus Christ. John understood how perfect and holy the Savior was and he knew that Jesus had never sinned before.
What it is taught here about the Holy Ghost?
        The Holy Ghost came to testify of God and His purposes. The Holy Ghost was present to show that this was the work of the Father and that Heavenly Father was very pleased with Christ.
The 3 reasons Christ was baptized: It is a commandment from Heavenly father and , the only way you can enter heaven is by going through the gates of baptism. The Lord was baptized to set an example for us to live our lives and to be baptized.
What evidence is giving that shows that Jesus Christ , the Holy Ghost and Father in Heaven are all different beings?
Jesus Christ was on earth, the dove came as the Holy Ghost and they could hear God's voice.

This is a wonderful time in history that shows the importance of being baptized by the proper authority and the proper way, by immersion. This represents death and a new live. A new life with the comfort of the Spirit.
