Why would Jesus need baptism if He had no sin? In Matthew 3, Pastor Paul unpacks the ministry of John the Baptist and his call to repentance as preparation for the coming Messiah. You’ll see how John’s simple message confronted pride, exposed hearts, and pointed people toward the greater baptism Jesus would bring through the Holy Spirit and fire. Finally, Pastor Paul explains why Jesus entered the waters—not for His own repentance, but to fully identify with sinners and begin the path that would lead Him to the cross.
