马太福音-Matthew 3章13节
| 3:13 |
当下，耶稣从加利利出来，到约但河约翰那里，要受他的浸。 Then Jesus came from Galilee to the Jordan to John to be baptized by him. |
Enlightenment:
Jordan signifies termination and germination. The children of Israel traveled through the wilderness for about forty years, and eventually they were all buried in the Jordan River. Hence, the Jordan terminated them, ended their history of wandering in the wilderness, and terminated the age of wandering. But the Jordan also gave them a new beginning, for it germinated them and ushered them into a new age. It was the Jordan that brought the children of Israel out of the wilderness and into the good land, which is Christ. This is the significance of the Jordan.

约但河表征了结和新生的起头。以色列人行经旷野约四十年，最终他们都被埋葬在约但河里。因此，约但河了结了他们，结束了他们在旷野飘流的历史，并且了结了飘流的时代。然而，约但河也给他们新的开始，因约但河给他们新生的起头，把他们引进新的时代。约但河把以色列人带出旷野，引进美地；美地就是基督。这就是约但河的意义。
