Encounters

Matthew 3.11-17
  • John the Baptist is uncertain about the appropriateness of baptising Jesus.
  • Jesus’ response is cryptic, but his actions show his solidarity with sinful humanity.
  • Jesus, already identified as Son of David, is acclaimed Son of God.

This week's resources explore: Jesus identifying with us in baptism; John’s uncertainty about who Jesus is; God’s affirmation.
