John the Baptist baptising Jesus

John grew up to be a bit of a wild man, who lived in the desert and preached the message of God, foretelling the coming of Jesus the Messiah. He spent a lot of time baptizing people in the river and teaching them to repent. When Jesus went to John to be baptized, John was overjoyed, and the Holy Spirit engulfed Jesus. At that moment, a voice from heaven spoke and said: “This is my Son, in whom I am pleased.”

Moral
God is real and speaks to those to listen and believe in Him.
