Matthew 3:1 - 13
Here is John the Baptist by the Jordan River, ministering to people unclean, unsettled and unfruitful. Here is pictured the human race - facing the Judge who is to come. Now enters Jesus, and His decision to enter the water Himself, he is joining us in our filth...standing with us, standing for us - so that we can join Him in His Family. "This is the Family that you were born for!" says Glen.

The account of Moses – floating as a baby in the Nile and then standing at the Burning Bush gives us an emblem of the answer. Follow Glen’s winsome description of the God who not only hears the cries of His people, but in concern comes to rescue them…. and more. Other gods never suffer! Our God suffers. Look for the answer right here.
