Life of Jesus Story #1

John Baptizes Jesus Matthew 3:13-17

·        At first John didn't want to baptize Jesus.

·        John thought Jesus should be the one to baptize him.

·        However, when Jesus said, it needed to be this way, John obeyed and took Jesus into the river and baptized Him.

·        As Jesus came up out of the water, God's Spirit like a dove, came down to Him from Heaven.

·        God spoke and said, ''This is My Son and I love Him. I am very pleased with Him.

·        Jesus set a good example for us by following God's command to be baptized.

Jesus tempted by the Satan Matthew 4:1-4

·        Soon God's Spirit led Jesus away from the river desert.

·        Jesus wanted to pray and think about what God wanted to Him do next.

·        Jesus fasted-that means didn't eat so He got very hungry.

·        Then the devil Satan knew that Jesus was tired and hungry.

·        Turn these rocks into bread the Satan told Jesus.

·        Jesus knew that Satan was trying to get to do something wrong.

·        Jesus had studied God's Word, so He remembered what had learned from the Scriptures.

·        He said, ''A Person does not live only by eating bread.

·        A person lives by doing everything the Lord says.

·        Satan doesn't stop picking on people with just one try.

·        He was not through with Jesus yet.
