#27 - Where did John's baptism come from?

From our point of view looking back not only in time but also to a culture much different than our own, it could seem like John's baptism came on the scene totally unexpectedly. We might wonder why God's people would have flocked to John and received his baptism if it was something so new. In this episode Pastor Brian explains that although John's baptism was something new--it was a washing for the forgiveness of sins--there were many ceremonial washings that took place in the Old Testament to prepare God's people for this baptism and the coming of the Messiah.
