1 Today most of us have a calendar to tell what day it isbut at that time they based it by who on the throne and not actually day.
2 The priesthood was important but Christ is the HighPriest. God’s word a revelation was given; this shows his importance of themessage because at this time /god did not send His word because many wereagainst it.
3 This verse is not saying baptism saves but saying thosewho are saved will be baptized. Baptism is important but we are saved by faithin Him. Preaching is a calling but all are to share Christ by living a life forHim. The Jordanwas the big river in the area so it where John may have baptized those offaith. Being forgiven is why we can have eternal fellowship with the Lord; oursalvation is found in Christ not baptism.
