John the Baptist was so surprised when asked him to baptise Jesus. He didn't feel worthy to baptise the son of God. Lord I pray that we all have the courage to stand and be counted and do everything in your strength. I pray for those people getting baptised in the future Lord, that you fill them with your spirit, your fire, your passion as they make this comitment to you and your son Jesus as he did on that day on the Jordan River. Amen
Matthew 3:13 Jesus left Galilee and went to the Jordan River to be baptized by John. 14 But John kept objecting and said, "I ought to be baptized by you. Why have you come to me?" 15 Jesus answered, "For now this is how it should be, because we must do all that God wants us to do." Then John agreed. 16 So Jesus was baptized. And as soon as he came out of the water, the sky opened, and he saw the Spirit of God coming down on him like a dove. 17 Then a voice from heaven said, "This is my own dear Son, and I am pleased with him."
