At the dawn of Jesus’s public ministry, great crowds of people were coming out to the wilderness by the Jordan River where Jesus’s cousin, John, preached and baptized. “Prepare the way of the Lord,” he urged as he quoted the prophet Isaiah (Mark 1:3). John considered himself to be the herald of God’s long-expected arrival in the person of the Messi...
At his baptism, Jesus offered himself without reservation to his Father as he began the public phase of his redeeming mission. What might Jesus have been praying as he waited with the others to descend from the banks into the Jordan?
