I don't understand the story of Jesus being baptized by his cousin John the Baptist??
so Jesus cousin John, was a crazy man hermit like a hippie and lived in the wilderness forest eating wild mushrooms and dressed in sackcloth.
so he never went to town or hanged around normal people.
He had unkept long hair and was going around talking to himself and preaching to passers by.
so Jesus went to pay him a visit and John got Jesus to dunk in the river Jordan and baptized him in the name of the father, the son and the Holy spirit.
then a dove appeared in the sky just like the one appeared to Noah after the flood, and the dove spoke and said Jesus is my son, listen to what he says.
so what does all this story supposed to represent?
what does it mean that we have to be baptized, when most people do not know this and go thru life unbaptized ??
