These are my thoughts, please share yours.
1 Today most of us have a calendar to tell what day it is but at that time they based it by who on the throne and not actually day.
2 The priesthood was important but Christ is the High Priest. God’s word a revelation was given; this shows his importance of the message because at this time /god did not send His word because many were against it.
3 This verse is not saying baptism saves but saying those who are saved will be baptized. Baptism is important but we are saved by faith in Him. Preaching is a calling but all are to share Christ by living a life for Him. The Jordan was the big river in the area so it where John may have baptized those of faith. Being forgiven is why we can have eternal fellowship with the Lord; our salvation is found in Christ not baptism.
