In John’s stunned question—“Do you come to me?”—we hear the entire gospel: the sinless Son steps into the Jordan not because He needs repentance, but because He comes to us first in sovereign grace, bearing our double curse (the judgment of death for all and the covenant penalties we deserve) so the waters of judgment become the waters of renewal and life. No more clinging to fleshly generation or humanistic striving; only His seeking love descends like a dove, declaring over broken sinners: “This is my beloved Son… and you are mine too.” New episode drops Sunday afternoon—subscribe wherever you get podcasts and join us at the Jordan, where grace finds us before we ever find it.
