This is The Baptism Of Christ Story for kids. Long, long time ago, there one was a man called John who had given up his life to serve God. He did not live in a house anymore. He lived in the desert and wore camel skin. His life was simple. He would eat honey, berries, and insects. People would often come from near and far places to hear him preach. He would say very simple things. He told his followers to be sorry for their wrongdoings and ask for forgiveness for their sins.

The people used to tell him about their sins and asked for forgiveness and in turn, he would bless them and pour water on their heads from the river Jordan. After this, their sins were thought to be washed away. John knew that one day, a great man would come and would purify his followers not with the water but with the holy spirit itself. He would be a really very great man. One day, Jesus came to where John lived to be purified. The moment John saw Jesus coming towards him, he knew at once that the great man had finally come. John bowed down and said, "You should purify me, not the other way round! I have been waiting for you, My Lord!" Jesus replied, "Let it be this way for now. The God wants it."
