Jesus coming of age (with John)

One word summarized john’s message: repent, which meant rethink everything, or question your assumptions, or have a deep turnaround in your thinking and values.
His baptism of repentance symbolized being immersed in a flowing river of love, in solidarity not just with the clean, privileged, superior us – but with everyone, everywhere.
