Who Jesus is God the Father said Jesus was
His beloved Son. Mark 1:9–11
D
on’t you just love it when your father is pleased with you? There’s joy that comes with hearing the words “I’m proud of you!” Did you know that Jesus’ Father was pleased with him? When Jesus came to John the Baptist to be baptized, John was confused. He knew that Jesus always did what was right and had no need of baptism. But Jesus assured John that it was the right thing to do. And as Jesus came up out of the water, a voice spoke from heaven. It was his Father’s voice. And he said, “You are my Son and I love you. I am very pleased with you.” God is always pleased when we do his will.
