In Matthew 3:13–4:11, we see Jesus step onto the public stage through His baptism and temptation. In these two scenes, Scripture shows us who Jesus truly is: the beloved Son of God, the faithful and true Israel, the promised Messiah, our Savior, and the One who brings God’s Kingdom.

This episode traces how Jesus fulfills the hopes and promises of the Old Testament, succeeding where others failed and standing in our place with perfect obedience. As we affirm who Jesus is, we’re invited to pursue joy and trust in the One who meets every expectation.
