[3841.44 --> 3842.34] when he's 12
[3842.34 --> 3843.54] and when his parents
[3843.54 --> 3844.46] are looking for him,
[3844.52 --> 3845.54] he's referring to God
[3845.54 --> 3846.22] as his father.
[3847.00 --> 3847.84] And the fact
[3847.84 --> 3849.20] that it's specifically written
[3849.20 --> 3850.08] as God speaking
[3850.08 --> 3851.12] to his servant
[3851.12 --> 3852.72] just makes that
[3852.72 --> 3853.96] so much more powerful.
[3855.84 --> 3856.72] Jesus knew
[3856.72 --> 3857.50] that this is why
[3857.50 --> 3858.06] he was here,
[3858.30 --> 3859.22] why he was born.
[3860.54 --> 3862.32] But knowing he was God,
[3862.68 --> 3863.14] did not,
[3863.44 --> 3864.52] he did not consider
[3864.52 --> 3865.06] that something
[3865.06 --> 3866.30] to be taken advantage of.
[3866.80 --> 3867.20] Instead,
[3867.36 --> 3869.46] he lived a humble life,
[3870.00 --> 3871.12] just like the servant
[3871.12 --> 3872.10] is described to.
[3875.34 --> 3876.86] And so when Jesus grew up
[3876.86 --> 3877.84] and eventually went
[3877.84 --> 3878.64] to the Jordan River
[3878.64 --> 3879.32] to be baptized,
[3879.32 --> 3881.30] we see again
[3881.30 --> 3883.22] a similar series of events
[3883.22 --> 3885.28] as Saul's rise to king.
[3886.20 --> 3887.06] And we start
[3887.06 --> 3888.14] to see connections
[3888.14 --> 3888.86] between the passage
[3888.86 --> 3890.18] Kevin preached last Sunday
[3890.18 --> 3891.78] in chapter 3 of Matthew.
[3892.82 --> 3894.78] We read in verses 2 to 3,
[3895.32 --> 3895.90] in those days,
[3896.02 --> 3896.96] John the Baptist came
[3896.96 --> 3897.84] preaching in the wilderness
[3897.84 --> 3898.44] of Judea
[3898.44 --> 3898.84] and said,
[3898.98 --> 3899.88] repent for the kingdom
[3899.88 --> 3901.38] of heaven has come near.
[3902.16 --> 3903.56] This is who was spoken of
[3903.56 --> 3904.48] through the prophet Isaiah,
[3904.68 --> 3905.78] a voice of the one
[3905.78 --> 3906.72] calling through the wilderness.
[3907.34 --> 3907.82] Prepare the way
[3907.82 --> 3908.26] for the Lord,
[3908.36 --> 3909.30] make straight paths
[3909.30 --> 3909.72] for him.
[3911.16 --> 3911.92] Matthew quotes
[3911.92 --> 3912.76] from Isaiah 40,
[3912.86 --> 3913.52] the same passage
[3913.52 --> 3915.32] Kevin preached last Sunday
[3915.32 --> 3915.98] about the hope
[3915.98 --> 3916.80] we have in God.
[3917.62 --> 3918.24] John the Baptist
[3918.24 --> 3919.74] then tells the Pharisees
[3919.74 --> 3920.54] and the Sadducees
[3920.54 --> 3921.60] that one is coming
[3921.60 --> 3923.12] who will baptize
[3923.12 --> 3923.86] with the Holy Spirit
[3923.86 --> 3924.32] and fire
[3924.32 --> 3926.04] and who with his winnowing fork
[3926.04 --> 3927.10] will separate the wheat
[3927.10 --> 3927.94] and the chaff.
[3928.56 --> 3929.48] John is telling them
[3929.48 --> 3930.54] that this man
[3930.54 --> 3931.76] will come to judge.
[3933.08 --> 3934.32] Jesus then arrives
[3934.32 --> 3935.00] on the Jordan River
[3935.00 --> 3936.74] and goes to John the Baptist.
[3936.74 --> 3938.24] John the Baptist
[3938.24 --> 3939.62] doesn't want to baptize Jesus
[3939.62 --> 3940.44] because he doesn't see
[3940.44 --> 3941.20] himself as worthy.
[3941.46 --> 3941.78] Instead,
[3942.06 --> 3943.50] Jesus should be baptizing him.
[3945.04 --> 3945.68] Jesus tells him
[3945.68 --> 3946.30] he has to.
[3947.08 --> 3947.52] And when Jesus
[3947.52 --> 3949.88] rises out of the water,
[3950.58 --> 3951.28] the Holy Spirit
[3951.28 --> 3952.56] descends on him
[3952.56 --> 3953.32] as a dove
[3953.32 --> 3954.96] and God says,
[3955.34 --> 3956.46] this is my son
[3956.46 --> 3957.68] in whom I love.
[3958.02 --> 3958.58] With him,
[3958.68 --> 3959.66] I am well pleased.
[3959.66 --> 3959.78] Jesus.
[3961.34 --> 3962.32] This declaration
[3962.32 --> 3963.14] from God
[3963.14 --> 3964.74] is very similar
[3964.74 --> 3965.84] to verses 1 and 2
[3965.84 --> 3966.86] of Isaiah 42.
[3968.32 --> 3969.18] And so what we see
[3969.18 --> 3970.48] in this series of events
