Devotions: John Preaches

Remind the Sunday School, Kids Club and Bible Study group that John met his cousin Jesus while preaching by the Jordan River.

When Jesus and John were grown up they met one another when John was baptizing people in the Jordan River.
John was teaching people just like the angel had said all those years before.

He was saying, “Don’t lie, don’t cheat, don’t steal and then he would baptize the people who wanted to change.

Some people thought John was God’s chosen Messiah; but John said, “No.”
