INTRO: We are in the section in the Gospels I have called "The Preparation Of The Messiah For The World." The last part of that preparation is the preaching of John the Baptist and the baptism of Jesus Christ. It is to the first of these points we want to give ourselves this morning. The Scriptures involved are Matthew 3, Mark 1:1-11 and Luke 3:1-22. Since all three Gospels deal with the same events, you will understand that there will be duplication.
What we have seen so far is the accounts of the conceptions of both John the Baptist and Jesus Christ. We have seen the births of both men. But of John we hear nothing after he was named, until he begins his ministry. We learned a little more about the early years of Jesus Christ. We even saw one incident when He was 12 years old. But other than that, we know nothing about both lives other than that the blessing of God rested on them.
