It is not uncommon for VIP rap artists and professional wrestlers to have someone come on the scene before them, hyping up the people for their arrival. The same held true for the Son of God. Jesus’ hype-man wore animal hair and ate bugs and wild honey. While his appearance may have left something to be desired, his message was to be the most desired of all.

Fast forward approximately 18 years from his time in the temple as a boy, and we find Jesus on the cusp of his entry into public ministry. This is where he would be baptized. To be baptized he would need a baptizer, and his baptizer brought a message of good news.

Big Idea: Jesus is still looking for people who will proclaim the good news. Luke 3:1-22
