Matthew 3:11, 13–17; Mark 1:9–11; Luke 3:15–16, 21–22

Jesus Christ was baptized to “fulfil all righteousness.”

Listen to “Baptism” in the primary song book.

Read Matthew 3:11. 13-17; Mark 1:9-11; and Luke 3:15-16, 21-22

The Savior’s Baptism	My Baptism
Who baptized Jesus, and what authority did he hold?	Who baptized you, and what authority did he hold?
Where was Jesus baptized?	Where were you baptized?
How was Jesus baptized?	How were you baptized?
Why was Jesus baptized?	Why were you baptized?
How did Heavenly Father show that He was pleased with Jesus?	How did Heavenly Father show that He was pleased when you were baptized? How has He shown His approval since then?

January 25, 2023 – Matthew 3:16-17

And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him:

And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.

Matthew 3:7; Luke 3:7

Who was Mark?

Who were the Pharisees and Sadducees?

Read Matthew 3:7; Luke 3:7.

Mark - Among the authors of the Gospels, we know the least about Mark. We know that he was a missionary companion of Paul, Peter, and several other missionaries. Many biblical scholars believe that Peter directed Mark to record the events of the Savior’s life. Mark’s Gospel was likely written before the other three.  Draw some of the images that come to your mind when reading these scriptures.

Pharisees and Sadducees - The Pharisees were members of a Jewish religious party who prided themselves on strict observance of the law of Moses and its rituals. The Sadducees were a wealthy Jewish class with great religious and political influence; they did not believe in the doctrine of resurrection. Both groups had strayed from the original intent of God’s laws.

Daily scripture tracing thought:

January 24, 2023 - Matthew 3:7

But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees come to his baptism, he said unto them, O generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come?

John 1:18

The Father bears record of His Son.

Read John 1:18.

Also read Matthew 3:17; 17:5; 3 Nephi 11:6–7; and Joseph Smith—History 1:17.

Why is it a blessing to have these accounts?

John 1:11–13

Jesus Christ gives us “power to become” the sons and daughters of God.

Listen to “I Am a Child of God” in the primary song book.

Read John 1:11-13. 

Jesus Christ offers us a way back through His atoning sacrifice, what do these verses teach us about becoming sons and daughters of God?

Write or draw what it mean to you to have “power to become” a daughter or son of God?

 

Daily scripture tracing thought:

January 17, 2023 John 1:17

And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world.
