APPLICATION QUESTIONS:
1. What does it mean to be righteous? How did Jesus “fulfill all righteousness”?
2. If John’s baptism was a sign of repentance, why was Jesus baptized? What is (was) your purpose for being baptized?
3. What makes you feel spiritually unworthy as John expresses, “whose sandals I am not worthy to carry” (vs. 11)? What makes inferiority helpful or unhelpful?
