The Word of God came to John the Baptist. John the Baptist preached a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins. John the Baptist announced the imminent coming of the Messiah, who would be Jesus. Jesus was baptized by John the Baptist and heaven was opened, the Holy Spirit descended in Jesus like a dove and a voice from heaven said "You are my Son whom I love; with you I am well pleased." The genealogy of Jesus is givengoing from his step-father, Joseph all the way back to the first man, Adam. Jesus was led by the Holy Spirit into the wilderness where he fasted for forty days and then was tempted to sin by the devil.
