Todays MessageThe Launching of Jesus

Ministry

Today we return to our study of the Gospel according to Luke. In our study thus far, we have seen Gods sovereignty in theprophecy of the birth of John the Baptist and the fulfillment of that prophecy. We saw the angel Gabriel announce to Mary, a virgin, that she would conceive and bear a son and He will be great and called the son of the Most High. After thefulfillment of that prophecy and the excitement surrounding the birth of Jesus we then jumped ahead a few years and found Jesus, about 12 years of age, in the Temple listening and asking questions of the teachers. We don't read of ourLord's teen years. In fact, after the temple event, Jesus lived in obscurity for another 18 years. There has been nothing to indicate to the people in Nazareth or the Jewish people that He is God in the flesh, the Messiah.

Our text today takes us to a time when Jesus is ready to launch His ministry to the public; at about 30 years of age. Ourpassage in Luke describes Him going down to the Jordan River to be baptized by John the Baptist. Jesus, perfect inevery way, the Son of God, is being baptized. Why? Let's take a closer look at our passage and see what God would haveus learn today from the events of Jesus baptism and the launching of His public ministry.

CrossBridge Church exists to Bring glory to God by

Making Gospel disciples and Sharing the love of Christ with our community and our world.
