Was baptism a practice prior to Christianity? Why was John the Baptist doing this?
Jesus was baptised by John the Baptist. I suppose Jesus did it as an example for all of his followers to come and as a springboard for his ministry. He was baptised, spent 40 days in the desert fasting, and then began to gather his people to him. He pin-pointed baptism as a starting point. Often, it seems like the end of a path in search of the truth, but baptism is the beginning of true life!
