TODAY'S BIBLE TWEET

BIBLE TEXT: “And it came to pass in those days, that Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was baptized of John in Jordan. And straightway coming up out of the water…” (Mark 1:9-10a KJV)

BIBLE TWEET: Jesus had no sins to repent of or to confess, but to be our perfect example and to fulfill all righteousness, as well as His Father’s will, He came from Nazareth of Galilee to be baptized by John in the Jordan. (1 Peter 2:21; Matthew 3:15; John 5:30)

BIBLE TAKEAWAY: Customarily, the baptized remained in the water to confess their sins after being baptized, but Jesus came up "straightway" out of the water, since He had no sins to confess. (John 19:4; 2 Corinthians 5:21; Hebrews 4:15; 1 Peter 2:22; 1 John 3:5)
