Began in his baptism near the river Jordan (Mt 3:13-17)and ends in Jerusalem

The Baptism of Jesus13 Then Jesus came from Galilee to the Jordan to John, to be baptized by him. 14John would have

prevented him, saying, I need to be baptized by you, and do you come to me?15 But Jesus

answered him, Let it be so now, for thus it is fitting for us to fulfill all righteousness.Then heconsented. 16And when Jesus was baptized, immediately he went up from the water, andbehold, the heavens were opened to him,[a]and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a doveand coming to rest on him; 17 and behold, a voice from heaven said, This is my belovedSon,[b]with whom I am well pleased.

Immediately after His baptism, Jesus went into the

desert. (Mt.4:1-4) While Jesus was in the desert, he was tempted by the

devil, promising him wealth and power.

Gen. 32:24-26. It was Christ who appeared to Moses at the Burning Bush in the

Wilderness. When Moses asked the "Angel of the LORD" His name, lie replied-"I AMTHAT I AM" and added-"Say unto the Children of Israel 'I AM' hath sent me to you.

11 Ex. 3:13-14. The "I AM " of the Burning Bush is the "I AM" of the New Testament, whosaid-"I am the Way, and the Truth, and the Life." It was Christ who sent the Plagues on

the Egyptians, who commanded the slaying of the Passover Lamb, a type of Himself,

Ex. 12:1-3, and who opened the Red Sea for the Children of Israel to cross over. It wasChrist who fed Israel in the Wilderness with manna and quails.
