8.3.25 Chris Weeks

Jesus didn’t need to be baptized because of sin — He was sinless. He did it to stand in our place, to show obedience, and to launch His ministry by stepping into our brokenness.

He stood where sinners stood.

🏠 Lived with us.

🍞 Broke bread with us.

💔 Felt our weakness.

His baptism was a symbol of humility, obedience, and love — showing us what it means to follow God fully.

And after His baptism?

☁️ Heaven opened

🕊️ The Spirit descended

📣 The Father spoke: “This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.”

Jesus didn’t just save us — He walked with us first.
