[SIZE=10pt]Jesus is RELUCTANT before baptism.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=10pt]Jesus our creator, talks to the disobedient, proud,[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]covetous, false prophet, Pharisees:[/SIZE]

[SIZE=10pt]Luke.7 Jesus said:[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt][27] John the Baptist is he:[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]about whom it is written (by the Prophet):[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]Behold, I send my messenger before your face,[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]who shall prepare your way before you.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt][28] I (Jesus, the God of Israel) say to you:[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]Among those who are born of women,[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]there is not a greater Prophet[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]than John the Baptist: (He is a Prophet of the Highest, the Father.)[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]but he who is least in the (invisible) kingdom of GOD is greater than John.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt][29] All of the Israelites and the publicans, (the hated tax collectors),[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]who heard (obeyed) Jesus, justified GOD (the Father),[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]being baptized with the baptism of John.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt][30] But the >> Pharisees and lawyers, (the High Ones, destroyed 70 A.D.)[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]>> (dangerously) rejected the counsel from GOD (the Most High)[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]against (opposing) themselves[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]being not baptized by John.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=10pt]Jesus' treatment of the disobedient to the GOD sent baptism.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]Luke.20[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt][1] It came to pass that, on one of the days,[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]while Jesus (the good and upright God of Israel),[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]taught the Israelites in the Temple, [/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]and preached the Gospel, (about the predicted good gifts from GOD),[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]the Chief Priests and the Scribes with the Elders, (all being False Prophets), [/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]came upon him [2] and spoke to him saying:[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]Tell us (the Rulers):[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]by what authority do you do these things? (like teaching the people)[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]or who is the man who authorized you?[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt][3] Jesus, (the Son of the Highest), answered and said to them:[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]I will also ask you one question and answer me:[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt][4] The baptism of John, was it from (GOD in) heaven or from men?[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt][5] and they reasoned with themselves saying:[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]If we shall say: from heaven then he will say:[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]Why then didn’t you believe /obey him?[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt][6] But and if we say:[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]of men;[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]all of the Israelites (the populace),[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]will stone us because they are persuaded that John is a prophet.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt][7] and they answered,[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]that they could not tell from whom the Baptism was.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt][8] Jesus said unto them:[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]Neither will I (the mediator between men and GOD)[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]tell by what authority I (the maker of Israel) do these things.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]*[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]Jesus was submissive to baptism as a righteous deed.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]Matt.13[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt][13] Then Jesus (the God of John) journeyed from Galilee,[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]to Jordan to John, to be baptized by him.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt][14] But John forbad him saying:[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]I have need to be baptized by you (My LORD and My God),[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]and you come to me?:[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt][15] Jesus answering said to him:[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]Suffer it to be so at present:[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]for thus it becomes us (the children of the Highest)[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]to fulfill (obey), all righteousness (from GOD).[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]Then John suffered him.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]*[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]Jesus is more responsive starting at a person’s Baptism.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]Baptism calling on Jesus, from under the water, is easily proven.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]Any other way, and like my friend said:”All you is get wet.”[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]Make Jesus more responsive.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]Get baptized correctly.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=10pt]Grace to all.[/SIZE]
