Write about the Jorden River.


The Jordan River is a 156-mile-long river that flows from the north to south through the Sea of Galilee and into the Dead Sea, the lowest point on earth.

Scripture says that Jesus was baptized in the Jordan River by John the Baptist, who was his cousin.

Matthew 3:13-17 (NIV)

The Baptism of Jesus

13 Then Jesus came from Galilee to the Jordan to be baptized by John. 14 But John tried to deter him, saying, “I need to be baptized by you, and do you come to me?”

15 Jesus replied, “Let it be so now; it is proper for us to do this to fulfill all righteousness.” Then John consented.

16 As soon as Jesus was baptized, he went up out of the water. At that moment heaven was opened, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and alighting on him. 17 And a voice from heaven said, “This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased.”

Giving us an example;
On living a consecrated life
Dedicated to obeying and glorifying God .
