Baptism of John origin human or heavenly
Gospel of Mark Ch 11 v- 27 thru 33
27 They returned once more to Jerusalem. As he was walking in the temple area, the chief priests, the scribes, and the elders approached him 28 and said to him, “By what authority are you doing these things? Or who gave you this authority to do them?” 29 Jesus said to them, “I shall ask you one question. Answer me, and I will tell you by what authority I do these things. 30 Was John’s baptism of heavenly or of human origin? Answer me.” 31 They discussed this among themselves and said, “If we say, ‘Of heavenly origin,’ he will say, ‘[Then] why did you not believe him?’ 32 But shall we say, ‘Of human origin’?”—they feared the crowd, for they all thought John really was a prophet. 33 So they said to Jesus in reply, “We do not know.” Then Jesus said to them, “Neither shall I tell you by what authority I do these things.”
“Was John’s baptism heavenly or of human origin? Answer me!” The elders and the scribes and the chief priests all knew the real answer and were unable to explain the truth because it would take away from their customs and they weren’t ready to accept the Messiah as proof. They know Jesus had to be the one but were unwilling to express Jesus as the only Begotten Son. Obviously, the answer is a heavenly design equipped with angels and doves descending allowing the grace of God to be known as Divine.
Once we accept this fact by living placing God first in all that we do, we can find the grace of redemption in our life to believe as heavenly though many say we can’t prove what Jesus really says and what He does for me and for you. We know in our heart that God came to the earth to help us receive forgiveness of sins that ruined the entire people of our humanity what the world seems to do. We believe then we are saved from eternal damnation in kind allowing Christ to be our Savior as the only way to find love, faith and hope living Redeemed by His grace that everyone no matter your sin can revceiv. Amen.
Join me as we pray our daily prayer of forgiveness. I am sorry Lord. I believe You died and rose for me. Please forgive me as I forgive others. I share You as my Lord and Savior seeking to live your Will in all things. Prayers for wife Toni and my mother Betty we pray for our children especially our two oldest Alexandra & Allen; Julian, Gabriel and Jeffrey and our grandchildren Oliver, Julian and Elliott. We pray for those we’ve said we’d pray for and those who’ve asked us to pray for them. We pray for the dying as we do each day Lord give them peace in their last breath. Silence for the prayers of others dealing with the war in Ukraine. In the Holy Spirit we pray our brothers in Kairos especially a prayer for our men in blue. Day 9 We pray for our niece Brittany who is a mother of four and 33 years old who has brain cancer stage four. We pray for Holy Mother Church. In Jesus Precious Blood by His Name we pray. Amen.

**Baptism of John origin human or heavenly**
Jerusalem once again retuned they
Area temple walking was He
Jesus approached by the elders the scribes the chief priests
Authority what they asked to understand complete
Things these you do
Authority what did you pursue
Question one answer Jesus replied in truth
Me answer and you’ll know what authority I use
Baptism of John origin human or heavenly ruins
They discussed his question broadly without refuting
Say we origin heavenly say will He origin human
Yet if we say origin human say will He origin heavenly proven
Say will He believe John heavenly to free
Why not believe what he taught to conceive
Crowd they feared as they peered to receive
Blessings from Jesus they couldn’t deceive
Replying them all knowing not do we
Jesus replied His authority to be
You tell not how I can truly see
The authority you do not believe
