First you have repentance, change or purgeing of the vessel(ones self) which Jesus had no need to do but then there is the flesh. Even on God that ole flesh needed purification after all thats the beautiful part that God made himself like us and to endure our same crud, so his vessel too had to be clean to allow the Holy Spirit to enter in. So that being the case, can one fully enjoy the Spirit without being baptised? Now you know how my day starts.

But it will ...I never thought of it quite that way. But it will give something to ponder on the way to work. On this is how I looked at that particular event. First let me say that this part of Jesus's life puts goosebumps on me. Very exciting times and for John at that moment had to bring such clarity to his exsistance. Considering when he heard Mary's voice in Elizabeth's womb he got excited, so meeting his cousin (I would say for the first time) had to be the bomb. Next I looked at his baptism as a example for all to follow, Do as I do type request. It wasn't until after he was baptised that he started doing miracles so though I know he had the power to he conveyed that there is power in the baptism too, or after cleansing the flesh. Sorry so long winded I told you this is exciting to me. Bro DougAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06431308118687297125noreply@blogger.com
