Fusion: week of12/4

FAMILY THEME: BAPTISM OF JESUS

Matthew 3:1-17


God confirmed Jesus' authority as His Son at Jesus' baptism.

1.  John the Baptist Prepared the Way for Jesus by Preaching
     That Everyone Must Acknowledge Sin and Turn From It

     (Matthew 3:1-12)

     John preached salvation through repentance and personal
     commitment rather than religious pedigree.
 
2.  A Sinless Jesus Gave Us an Example to Follow in Baptism

     (Matthew 3:13-15)

      Although He had nothing to repent of, Jesus offered
      Himself as a model to follow in baptism.
 
3.  Jesus' Deity and Authority in Our Lives Was Confirmed
     at His Baptism

     (Matthew 3:16-17)

     God spoke, acknowledging Jesus' identity as His obedient
     Son, when Christ was baptized.
