When Jesus was baptized in the Jordan, heaven opened, the Spirit descended, and the Father declared, “You are my beloved Son.” This powerful moment not only revealed the identity of Christ—it also helps us understand the meaning of baptism itself.
In this message from March 15, 2026, Pastor Jason Medeiros continues the series Luke: Jesus for Everyone, looking at Jesus’ baptism and explaining what baptism is and why it matters, drawing from the teaching summarized in the Baptist Faith and Message. Baptism is not what saves us—it is the believer’s public declaration of faith, a picture of our union with Christ in His death, burial, and resurrection.
Luke 3:22 – “You are my beloved Son; with you I am well pleased.”
