Matthew 3:1-17 - The Baptism of Jesus - Part 2
Manage episode 481390414 series 3450434
In Matthew chapters 1 and 2 we were introduced to Promised Messiah:
- His genealogy: Being of the ancestry and lineage of King David
- His virgin birth: Conceived of the Holy Spirit
- His visiting guests: The Wise Men, AKA King-Makers, of Persia
- His miraculous deliverance from King Herod
Only Luke’s gospel records any events of Jesus’ childhood:
- He astonished the spiritual leaders of Israel with the depth of his spiritual understanding and insight (Luke 2:41-48).
- He had an awareness of God’s calling on his life (Luke 2:49)
- He was obedient to his parents (Luke 2:51)
- He grew: (Luke 2:52)
- In wisdom and stature
- In favor with God and men
Unlike Luke’s account, Matthew skips directly ahead 28 years to the start of Jesus’ ministry.
