Dear Chris,
I’ve been listening to your podcasts for some weeks now. You make getting to know the Bible a smooth journey that is so much more accessible than I thought it would be. I’m having one of those days that you mention in this podcast! But I wanted to say before now, thank you for your uploads, the time you take to put everything together & the friendliness with which you deliver each chapter.
Kind Regards,
Safi
Safi, you are most welcome
I concur with Safi’s feeling in your podcasts, and although its several months later, I hope you have a good and fulfilling day today!
Mark
Thanks Mark!
I still do not understand why Jesus felt it necessary to be baptized? Also is there any special significance to God’s choice of words: “Well pleased?”
I don’t know for sure, but I do think of Paul in Corinthians talking about us being baptized with him into his death.
