In this episode, Arnie and Fred discuss why Jesus was baptized. The discussion begins with John the baptizer who was selected by God to prepare the way for the promised Messiah. In doing so he preached that people needed to repent of their sins. They responded in large numbers to the extent that all those in Judea and Jerusalem obeyed John and he baptized or immersed them in water. Before dealing with Jesus' baptism, we need to know some things. The bible says that all accountable people sin. Christ gave His life to redeem us from sin and its consequences. The Gospel message clearly describes man's part in God's Plan of Salvation. The Bible says that Jesus is the only person who never sinned. So that brings us to the question of why Jesus was baptized?
