If you are a Christian, then you probably have been baptized at the beginning of your Christian walk. This being the first step in obedience to Christ, is an important step as it shows not only our loyalty to Jesus, but also symbolizes us being burried with Christ and raised into newness of life with Him. So that brings us to our question today, we see why baptism is important for us, but why was Jesus Baptized? In this week's episode of Real Talk Christian Podcast, Marc Hyde and Chris Fuller take a closer look at these passages from the Gospels, looking also into the culture of the time, and dive into the reasons that Jesus allowed Himself to be baptized and what it means. Tune in for this exciting conversation.
