Go to the Jordan River and join Jesus for his Baptism! Witness the miracles which happen as John the Baptist sends him into the waters! What does this say about you and your Baptism??
If you have some time after you're done, have a great conversation using these questions, or click here to check out a photo of the spot where this all took place on my community page! Great family convo questions:
- Where were you standing in the river — on the shore, ankle-deep, or way out in the water? Why do you think you chose that spot?
- What part of Jesus did you notice first when He came up out of the water — His face, His hair, His smile, or something else?
- What did the sky opening up look like in your imagination?
- What do you think John the Baptist was feeling when Jesus walked into the water — excitement, confusion, awe, all of the above?
- What do you think the crowd was whispering to each other after everything happened?
- How do you think Jesus felt in that moment?
- How about our Father in heaven?
