Bible Lesson: Prayers Of Jesus:
At His Baptism.
Location: The
Jordan River.
Lesson: To
Be God's People, We Must Be A People Of Prayer!
Bible Text:
Luke 3:21,22 NLT (Jordan
River, Baptism Of Jesus.)
21 One day when
the crowds were being baptized, Jesus Himself was baptized. As
He was praying, the heavens opened,
22 and The Holy
Spirit, in bodily form, descended on Him like a Dove. And a Voice
from heaven said, “You are My dearly loved Son, and you bring Me
great joy.”
At John's baptism, our Lord was declared “The Son Of The Father,”
in whom He was much pleased!
Don't leave this scene, until you carefully note the presence of God
The Father, and God The Holy Spirit!
Jesus prayed!
What did He pray? No doubt He prayed to be perfectly in the center of
The Father's will, for God The Father answered saying “You are
My dearly loved Son, and you bring Me great joy.”
Does God Hear When We Pray?
