When Jesus was sufficiently recovered from His long fast, He returned to the Jordan River where John was baptizing. Jesus stayed at the outer fringes of the crowd that had gathered, but His cousin caught sight of Him and immediately pointed Him out to the people. "There He is!" John exclaimed. "The Lamb of God who will take away the sins of the — world is standing over there!" (John 1:36). A murmur went up from the people and curious eyes turned to see. Taking advantage of the large gathering, John asked Jesus to explain to them about the coming Kingdom of God. - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
