><>...JESUS the CHRIST...><> The little village of Nazareth overlooked the main highway linking Damascus to the Mediterranean coast and Egypt. News of the world outside Galilee probably reached Nazareth quickly. During His boyhood Jesus probably heard of the revolt led by Judas the Galilean against the Roman authorities. This happened when Judea, to the south, became a Roman province in A. D. 6 and its inhabitants had to pay tribute to Caesar. Jews probably heard also of the severity with which the revolt was crushed. (from Nelson's Illustrated Bible Dictionary)

><>...JESUS the CHRIST ...><> The Beginnings Of His Ministry...><> Beginnings of Jesus' ministry-- Jesus began His public ministry when He sought baptism at the hands of John the Baptist. John preached between A. D. 27 and 28 in the lower Jordan Valley and baptized those who wished to give expression to their repentance <Matt. 3:13-17; Mark 1:9-11; Luke 3:21-22; John 1:29-34>. The descent of the dove as Jesus came up out of the water was a sign that He was the One anointed by the Spirit of God as the Servant-Messiah of His people <Is. 11:2; 42:1; 61:1>.

><>...JESUS the CHRIST...><> The Anointed King A voice from heaven declared, "You are My beloved Son; in You I am well pleased" <Luke 3:22>. This indicated that He was Israel's anointed King, destined to fulfill His kingship as the Servant of the Lord described centuries earlier by the prophet Isaiah <Is. 42:1; 52:13>.

><>...JESUS the CHRIST...><> His Baptism In the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, and Luke, Jesus' baptism is followed immediately by His temptation in the wilderness <Matt. 4:1-11; Mark 1:12-13; Luke 4:1-13>. This testing confirmed His understanding of the heavenly voice and His acceptance of the path which it marked out for Him. He refused to use His power as God's Son to fulfill His personal desires, to amaze the people, or to dominate the world by political and military force.
