Baptized For What? (Matthew 3:1-17)

In today's episode of Tough Texts, Scott Keith and Daniel Emery Price discuss the ministry of John the Baptist in Matthew 3:1-17. John prepares the way for the coming of Jesus Christ with the message of repentance and baptism. This chapter also highlights the baptism of Jesus, affirming His identity as the Son of God and marking the beginning of His public ministry. What significance does Jesus' baptism hold for us? Why did Jesus get baptized? And how does His baptism differ from ours? Join us as we explore these questions and more.
