Luke 3:21 says that, "When all the people were being baptized, Jesus was baptized too." He set the example, leading his flock both to and through the waters of baptism. He did not do this because he needed to be baptized, but because he was showing that baptism is an important step, the first step, on the journey of a Christian life. - [Introducing the 39 Articles: Articles 3 & 4](https://confessinganglicans.com/introducing-the-39-articles-articles-3-4/): Chris Pierce teaches on essential Anglican doctrine. - [Daniel Gilman on the veracity of Christ’s resurrection](https://confessinganglicans.com/daniel-gilman-on-the-veracity-of-christs-resurrection/): Daniel Gilman addresses Jesus' resurrection. - [God aids the needy](https://confessinganglicans.com/god-aids-the-needy/): Roger Salter examines 1 Kings 8:37-43. - [Jonah: Day 3](https://confessinganglicans.com/jonah-day-3/): Daily devotional on the book of Jonah. - [God teaches through the Bible](https://confessinganglicans.com/god-teaches-through-the-bible/): Edward Bickersteth on the Scripture. - [Introducing the 39 Articles: Articles 1 & 2](https://confessinganglicans.com/introducing-the-39-articles-background-and-articles-1-4/): Chris Pierce teaches on essential Anglican doctrine. - [John Stott on what makes him feel most alive](https://confessinganglicans.com/john-stott-on-what-makes-him-feel-most-alive/): John Stott remarks on what makes him feel truly alive. - [Jesus, the true God](https://confessinganglicans.com/jesus-the-true-god/): Roger Salter examines Hebrews 1:1-12. - [Jonah: Day 2](https://confessinganglicans.com/jonah-day-2/): Daily devotional on the book of Jonah. - [Anglican theological identity](https://confessinganglicans.com/anglican-theological-identity/): J.

In this sermon, he examines the doctrine of justification and shows how the Anglican position differs from the Roman Catholicism. Hooker is conscious not only of the Roman position but also the position of the Puritans, with their more radical understanding of justification. Since the understanding of the doctrine of justification is what caused many of the Reformers to leave the Roman Church, Hooker’s sermon also touches on the question of schism. - [What is evangelicalism?](https://confessinganglicans.com/what-is-evangelicalism/): J.
