Jesus substituted himself for us.  Do we value just how much those words say?  Let's revisit Jesus' baptism to see what it means that he is our Substitute and also to see the power our own baptism brings us as we face temptations. Parts: A. He came in for all sinners, even the worst. B. He makes us winners against the Adversary.  Preached on January 11, 2015, for the First Sunday after Epiphany: The Baptism of our Lord, at St. John's Ev. Lutheran Church (WELS), Hancock, MN.  Written copy available at: The Best Substitute Ever -- Mark 1:4-11
