Bible Study: John Meets Jesus

Use this illustration with the message to your Sunday School, Bible Study and Devotions group.


John was known as John the Baptist
—he preached and baptized the people.

God told John that Jesus was the Saviour.
Jesus asked John to baptise Him.
“I should be baptised by You,” John said to Jesus.
“No,” Jesus answered. “This is the right thing to do.”

So John baptised Jesus in the Jordan River.
As Jesus came up out of he water, John saw God’s spirit came down to Jesus in the form of a dove and land on Him.
John heard God’s voice say “This is My beloved Son. I am very pleased with Him.”
