Jn. 1 [NIV Dramatized Audio]

John1 addressees the baptism of Christ. Supposedly at the site where this happened, I was baptized when on an Israel sightseeing tour some years back. It was a memory I cherish.

Believe me, the Jordan river is NOT GLAMOROUS. It’s muddy. The banks are overgrown with vegetation. I can understand why Naaman balked at dipping in the Jordan seven times for his healing. The rivers in Damascus were much cleaner. Nevertheless, he finally obeyed at his servant’s begging. He was HEALED!

Baptism is something every Christian should experience. Like Jesus, we can fulfill all righteousness by being buried in water and rising to walk in newness of life. [Rom. 6]
