Last session we stopped when Jesus came out of the water and God said this is my son of whom I am well pleased. Jesus had been baptized by John the Baptist.
Matthew 28:19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
20 Teaching
them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I
am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen.
We are baptized in obedience to Jesus' command. Baptism is not a requirement of being saved, it is in obedience to God. Jesus was baptized in obedience to God--Matthew 3:

13 Then cometh Jesus from Galilee to Jordan unto John, to be baptized of him.
14 But John forbad him, saying, I have need to be baptized of thee, and comest thou to me?
15 And Jesus answering said unto him, Suffer it to be so now: for thus it becometh us to fulfil all righteousness. Then he suffered him.
16 And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him:
17 And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.
What is baptism all about? Think about this, write down in your words what you believe and we will continue and discuss this further in the next session.
Love you all.
