Day 3- John the Baptist Baptizes Jesus

Around twenty years have passed since Jesus traveled as a young boy with His family to Jerusalem. Now He is an adult of at least 30 years old and ready to begin His ministry.   John the Baptist is honored as the prophet who will be the forerunner, the one who will introduce and announce the arrival of the Messiah to the people. Jesus goes to John to be baptized in the Jordan River; this location is likely near the northern end of the Dead Sea.
