Good afternoon! Chapter 3 spoke about the beginning of John the Baptist's ministry and how he was the fulfillment of the prophecy in Isaiah 40:3-5 (quoted in Luke 3:4-6). Here are a few things we are told about Jesus in this chapter.
Jesus is...
- Mighty (vs 16)
- Greater than John the Baptist (vs. 16)
- Beloved Son of God (vs.22)
- Jesus was "about thirty years of age" when He began His ministry (vs. 23)
- Jesus is from the tribe of Judah (vs. 33) (For further reading on this see Genesis 49:8-12)
Compare John's statement in verse 16 with the proclamation about Jesus in Revelation 5. Only Jesus is worthy!
