They were baptized of him in Jordan, "confessing their sins." While he did not know Jesus to be the Christ, he knew Him as his kinsman, and he knew enough of the purity and sinlessness of His life to think that He should not confess His sins to be baptized for their remission.
Oh, dear heart, let us give up all freely into the will of God, that God may be glorified by us, and we comforted together in the Lord Jesus; which is the desire of my soul, who am thy dear and loving friend in the eternal truth,
"Where do you think?" "I think Love must be in the heart." Whereupon John answered: "Then you do know where the Kingdom of Heaven is." The two looked at each other, but did not quite seem to know. Then John went to Jesus, who was sitting on a rock and looking out into the darkness as if it was full of visions. His countenance was as bright as if the stars had lent it their brilliance.
To inquire, then, into this grace, this condescending grace of Christ, and that by searching out how rich Jesus Christ was, and then how poor he made himself, that we through his poverty might have the riches of salvation. First. How rich was Jesus Christ? To which I answer 1. Generally; 2. Particularly. Generally. He was rich as the Father "All things that the Father hath," saith he, "are mine."
If Jesus gave expression to his official consciousness when he used the name "the Son of Man," the title "the Son of God" may be said to express his more personal thought about himself.

It will be a mark of all the people that love Jesus." "A mark in their foreheads?" "Yes, it says so." "What mark?" "I don't know, Molly; it says, 'His name shall be in their foreheads." And Daisy's eyes became full of tears. "How will that be?" "I don't know, Molly; it don't tell. I suppose that everybody that looks at them will know in a minute that they belong to Jesus."
"I want to see Jesus," I hastened, turning toward him. I said this reverently and in good faith. "Will he not be here this morning? Will he not speak to his worshippers?" I asked again.
Ezekiel tells you that it is not true, and one greater than Ezekiel, Jesus Christ, your Saviour, your Lord, your God, tells you it is not true. For what happens, by God's eternal and unchangeable laws of retribution, to a whole nation, or a whole family, may happen to you to each individual man. They fall by sin; they rise again by repentance and amendment.
The Jews replied, "For a good work we stone thee not; but for blasphemy; and because that thou, being a man, makest thyself God." Jesus said, "Is it not written in your law, I said ye are gods? Here we have the first open passage of arms between the two opposing principles which led to the scene of Calvary as the final testimony of Jesus to the principle of Unity.
