Herod and his wife didn't like how John called out their +sin so they threw him in prison. Jesus came to be baptized by John not because +He needed to repent, but to identify with the people He came to save. When He +was baptized, a sign appeared from Heaven to show God's approval. + +* * * + +Help us to be concerned with those around us the way You are.
