The tribulation of today started with the baptism of Jesus!

“And Jesus answering said unto him, suffer it to be so now, for thus. It becomes us to fulfill all.” Matthew 3:15

This was the response from Jesus to John the Baptist when Jesus asked John to baptize Him.

John the Baptist did not consider himself worthy to baptize Jesus and responded to Jesus you should be baptizing me.

This act took place under the hand of God. It was a humble expression of God. Although Jesus was the Son of God, He was submitting to John, a prophet of God anointed by the Holy Spirit.

This baptism signaled the death of both John and Jesus. This was necessary so you and I could be restored to God and live in His righteousness.

God was pleased with this act and spoke, “This is my Son, whom I love; with Him I am well pleased.”

This act of suffering was necessary for the glory of God to be manifested upon humanity.

This is what is taking place today. The baptism of Jesus is about suffering and death. The tribulation taking place today will lead to the glory of God touching both non believers and Christians.

This tribulation is necessary to reestablish the authority of Christ and to bring an end to the act of compromising the teachings of Jesus. You cannot take Jesus lightly!

The Cross is your only hope for knowing Christ. You have been baptized into the death and resurrected life of Christ.

Jesus loves you!
