QT - Jesus is our example

Jesus will save us from our sin.

Matt 1: 29 The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him and said, "Look, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world! 30 This is the one I meant when I said, 'A man who comes after me has surpassed me because he was before me.' 31 I myself did not know him, but the reason I came baptizing with water was that he might be revealed to Israel."

Can you imagine John seeing Jesus? Can you imagine how excited he was to see him? I can imagine John standing talking with people. Then he sees Jesus. Just the excitment in his voice can be heard in this passage. John didn't know why he was told that he needed to baptize with water until that point.

32 Then John gave this testimony: "I saw the Spirit come down from heaven as a dove and remain on him. 33 And I myself did not know him, but the one who sent me to baptize with water told me, 'The man on whom you see the Spirit come down and remain is the one who will baptize with the Holy Spirit.' 34 I have seen and I testify that this is God's Chosen One."

John was the one to baptize Jesus, it was the example for us. John didn't spinkle water in Jesus' head. He totally dunked him in the river. Head to toe soaked. Jesus was the example on how to be baptized so we could have our sins washed away.

Today I feel a little down, but I think that's just because I'm feeling so tired. I'm just tired of being tired. I want to have the energy that Jesus had. I want to have the strength he had. God can provide this for me.
