Do you guys use this podcast in your classes?
I've been known to use podcasts as assignments for classes, but not TSP podcasts. Obviously, our course lectures already sound a lot like our podcasts!
Baptism/washing was necessary for priestly ordination: An additional reason for the baptism of Jesus, is that it was required for the ordination of a priest to be washed at the entrance to the tent of meeting by a priest (Exodus 29:4). Moses did the washing of Aaron and his sons (Leviticus 8:5-6). Moses was a priest and prophet, John the Baptist was a priest and prophet. John washed Jesus and two years later Mary of Bethany finished the washing cleansing Jesus feet at the entrance to the Temple that had been extended at Passover to handle the crowds that needed to assemble in that area. Ordination was necessary to offer sacrifice and Jesus offered the sacrifice of Himself.
Grace and peace,
