The Approval of King Messiah

Previously we recorded the visit that Yeshua made to the Holy City of David to observe the Passover (to see link click BaThe Boy Jesus at the Temple). Now, approximately eighteen years later, He made a similar journey in order to be baptized by John the Immerser. The specific purpose of the visit was stated: Then Jesus came from Galilee to the Jordan to be baptized by John (Mattityahu 3:13). Yochanan had prepared the Jewish people for this momentous event. God the Father would approve of God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit would equip the Kosher King so that He could begin His messianic ministry. Next we see the Anointed One officially presented by the designated forerunner to the nation of Isra’el as her Redeemer and Savior.
