Mt3

What do you think John the Baptist was like? He obviously wasn't the "best dressed preacher", nor was his diet the "newest trend", but his teaching was humble, truthful and full of conviction. I would have love to have been on the scene when Jesus came to be baptized by him.

Speaking of baptism, have you been baptized since you have become a christian? Jesus Himself thought it was necessary to be baptized. He said it was to "fulfill all righteousness". His baptism pleased the Father. It was at HIs baptism that the Holy Spirit descended on Him in the form of a dove. Jesus encouraged his followers to be baptized and He commanded them to baptize everyone who put their trust in Him.

If you have not been baptized since coming to faith, I would encourage you to make this year the year you follow Jesus' example and get baptized. You won't regret obeying Jesus in this way. Don't let lame excuses keep you from obeying Jesus and following His example.
