God chose John the Baptist to clear the path for the ministry of Jesus. John wore rough clothing and preached in the wilderness, calling sinners to repentance. At his first sight of Jesus, John shouted, “Behold. The Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world". Jesus presented Himself to John and was baptized by him in the Jordan River. Coming up from the water, the Holy Spirit descended upon Jesus in the form of a dove. The voice of God spoke from heaven saying “This is the Son that I love. I am happy with Him”. Just like at the moment of creation, the Father, the Son, and the Spirit joined together in celebration.
