Jesus’ Baptism and Temptation (Matthew 3:13–17, 4:1–17; John 1:29–34)
Brite Idea (Elementary): Jesus is God’s Son.
This Month’s Big Question (Preschool): Who is Jesus? Jesus is God's son.

John the Baptist was sent to prepare the way for the Messiah. When Jesus asked to be baptized by him, John hesitated, but Jesus explained it was part of God’s plan. After Jesus’ baptism, the Spirit of God descended on Him, and a voice from heaven declared Him as God’s beloved Son. John later identified Jesus as the Lamb of God, the One who would take away the sin of the world. Jesus then resisted temptation in the wilderness before starting His ministry.

Jesus didn’t need to repent and be baptized because He has never sinned, but He set an example for us. Since Jesus is fully human, He did everything He wanted us to do. Jesus was tempted like we are, but He never did anything wrong. Hebrews 2:17 says that Jesus had to be made like us in every way so that He could be the perfect sacrifice for our sin. That’s why Jesus, the Son of God, came to Earth. Jesus came as a person so He could make a way for us to be forgiven and live with Him forever through His death on the cross and His resurrection.

Monthly Memory Verse: But these are written so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in His name. (John 20:31)
