The Voice From Heaven
A visual journey through the divine proclamations identifying Jesus as the Son of God.
Key Proclamations
God the Father's voice was heard from heaven confirming Jesus's identity at two pivotal events.
Human Witnesses
Named individuals who were present to see the signs and hear the message, solidifying their testimony.
Event 1: The Baptism
At the River Jordan, as Jesus was baptized by John, a powerful supernatural event occurred. The heavens opened, the Spirit descended, and the Father spoke for all to hear.
"And suddenly, a voice came from heaven, saying, 'This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.'" Matthew 3:17
The Witnesses to Heaven's Voice
God ensured there were human witnesses to these divine moments, providing a foundation for the testimony that Jesus is the Son of God.
At the Baptism
- 👤 John the Baptist (Saw the Spirit & likely heard the voice)
At the Transfiguration
- 👤 Peter
- 👤 James
- 👤 John
Event 2: The Transfiguration
On a mountain, Jesus's inner circle of disciples—Peter, James, and John—witnessed Him speaking with Moses and Elijah. Once again, the Father's voice spoke from a cloud, this time with a command.
"This is my beloved Son... Hear him. I'm pleased with him." Based on Matthew 17:5
What is Baptism?
While Jesus set the example, baptism for followers is described as an outward sign of an inward change. It is an act of obedience that symbolizes a commitment to a new life.
The act itself—being immersed in water—is a public declaration based on three key, interconnected principles of repentance.
