Matthew 3: 13-17 v 15 “But Jesus said,” It should be done, for we must carry out all that God requires.” So John agreed to baptize Him.”
Then Jesus went from Galilee to the Jordan river to be baptized by John. But John tried to talk Him out of it. But Jesus said,” It should be done, for we must carry out all that God requires.” So John agreed to baptize Him.” After His baptism, as Jesus came up out of the water, the heavens were opened and He saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and settling on Him.
Jesus always gives us examples of what we are to do now in our everyday lives. Here His message is simply put “we must carry out all that God requires.” God requires of us to read His word. God requires us to actively live our lives following His directions. And yes we are rewarded for this with joy on this earth and a life surrounded by His love when this life is over!
