Mark 1:9-11 - Why was Jesus Baptized?

Mark 1:9-11 - Why was Jesus Baptized?

Video 2 of our teaching series on the Gospel of Mark. Why was Jesus baptized?

- To fulfill all righteousness
- As part of the Father's intent for His life
- As a sign to John the baptizer and those with him
- As a model for us to follow
- As a physical foreshadowing of His Death & Resurrection (and ours through Him alone)

Jesus did not BECOME the Son of God. He was eternally with the Father, even from the beginning (e.g. see John's intro)

The next segment of Mark, as well as other creative evangelism videos will be coming soon! Happy 2012! God makes all things new!

NOTE: As stated in the prior video, the work of Baptism is NOT the means to enter Heaven, but there is no reason for a Christian not to want to be baptized. Baptism is the outward showing of a decision of inward faith in Jesus. Haven't been baptized yet? Why not pursue that?! It's a great step of obedience to our Savior.
