Step 2 of the LifeWay material for our lesson “God’s Sinless Son” emphasizes that John’s baptism made public Jesus’ inner commitment to God (see Matt. 3:13-17). Jesus resisted temptation partly because He was committed to the Father and committed to live according to the Father’s will.
How important is making a commitment public to one’s subsequent follow thru? Consider sharing the experiment described in this article and point out who remained the most committed.
Urge members who have not been baptized to make a commitment to do so. Discuss Christian baptism as a symbol of one’s commitment to God.
