The Great Condescension
Oct 12, 2025 • Adam Smith
In this exposition of Matthew 3:13-17, Pastor Adam dives deep into the profound meaning of Jesus' baptism. This pivotal moment is a cosmic event that echoes throughout history and into our lives today. We see how Jesus, in his baptism, identifies with us in our humanity and sin, fulfilling all righteousness on our behalf. Jesus' baptism shows us that God doesn't wait for us to climb up to Him; He comes down to us. This great condescension challenges our prideful attempts to earn God's favor. We're invited to humble ourselves, find our identity in Christ, and receive the Father's love and pleasure through faith in Jesus.
