The Baptism of Christ
The Baptism of Christ raises so many questions. First, why is this feast called Epiphany and Theophany? Why is this event considered a "big deal" in Orthodoxy when it is barely even mentioned by other Christians? Since baptism is for the forgiveness of sin, and John's baptism was for repentance, why was Christ baptized at all? Join us for the first Search the Scriptures of 2023 as we discuss these and other important historical, biblical and theological questions.

Join us as we continue our discussion of this important figure in Christian history, the Forerunner and Baptist of the Lord on Search the Scriptures Live.

The Forerunner
john the Lord's Forerunner and Baptist is one of the most important saints of Christian history. We can see his prominence in every Orthodox Church by his position next to Christ on the iconostasis. He occupies a leading role at the beginning of all four gospels. Why was his ministry and presence so important? What made John so great that the Lord said that no man ever born was greater than John? Join us as we explore this important saint through the lens of Matthew's gospel
