He looked just like them. Like all the other Tom, Dick, and Harrys going out to be baptized by this John in the Jordan. He walked like them, talked like them, and dressed like them. He was one of them. Like all of them. So they didn't take too much notice of Him. But then His turn came for the baptism. John... he seemed reluctant. Just another baptism.... until it wasn't. It seemed almost like heaven was reaching down to earth, right there, right then, on Him! Because it was. That's exactly what baptism is. The joining of heaven an earth. Heaven reaching down to earth.
