Wow..! Service on the beach. Great. One question then. The baptism of John, Jesus still on earth, was it from heaven or was it of man? This is for the church I guess. We sleep in houses today. This is a time in history. The Pharisees were asking Jesus about John’s deciples. They were not the same as Jesus I guess in terms of material wealth. Sorry. Just had to ask, if John’s deciples threw out all their belongings and slept on the streets and valleys as the Pharisees had told about to Jesus. Easter time. Serious…
