Baptism of Jesus
The Life and Teachings of ChristSteve Gregg
In his discussion of the Baptism of Jesus, Steve Gregg presents a detailed comparison of the accounts provided in Matthew and Luke. While some have suggested that Jesus' exceptional abilities come from studying under gurus and masters, the Bible clearly suggests that these abilities were a result of his relationship with the Father. The baptism of Jesus, which was initially objected to by John the Baptist, marked the beginning of his enormous popularity and led to the revelation that he was the Son of God.
