Preacher: Monty Simao, pastor
Series: Matthew
Key Text: Matthew 3:13-17
Description:
What kind of King
receives a crown…
by stepping into the water?
Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast,
Pastor Monty Simao continues our study
in the Gospel of Matthew, where the King is revealed
at the Jordan.
John calls sinners
to repent.
And then—
the sinless One arrives.
Not to stand apart…
but to step in.
“To fulfill all righteousness.”
And as He rises—
the heavens open,
the Spirit descends,
and the Father declares:
“This is my beloved Son.”
Before the crown…
before the cross…
before the palms —
the King is revealed.
Because the King
who comes to save His people—
first stands
in their place.
