The Day Heaven Opened
Join Jesus as He shares the wondrous story of His baptism, where the Holy Spirit descended and a voice from heaven declared Him to be God's own Son.
A Story for You
"My dear children, gather 'round... It is a story about how God, My Father, showed everyone who I truly am."
The Setting: Life in Galilee
A Life of Work
"The men would head to their fields... The women, with their strong hands, would grind grain to make bread, fetch water... and weave cloth..."
A Life of Community
"We shared our meals, helped our neighbors, and always, always gathered to hear the words of God in the synagogue."
"Life was simpler... but the love in our families was just as deep."
The Messenger: John the Baptizer
"A very special cousin of Mine, a man named John... was a strong voice, calling out to all the people of Israel."

The Journey
"One day, I, too, left My home in Galilee and traveled many miles to the Jordan River... When I came to John, he was surprised!"
"But I told him, 'Let it be so now; for in this way we must fulfill all righteousness.' It meant that it was right for Me to set an example, to show everyone the way."
"Why do you come to me?"
- John to Jesus
The Heavens Opened Wide!

"As I came up out of the water, the heavens themselves opened wide!... a beautiful, pure white dove descended... This was the Holy Spirit..."
A Voice from Heaven
"This is My beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased."
The Witness
"My cousin John, the Baptizer, later told his followers... 'I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove, and He remained upon Him.'"
