Gioan Tẩy Giả Dạy Cạnh nước

John the Baptist stands at the water’s edge with his arms raised, addressing a gathered crowd seated along the rocky riverbank. Men, women, and children listen in the wilderness setting, their robes and staffs placing the moment within the world of first-century Judea. The preacher’s rough garment and urgent posture reflect his calling as the prophetic voice preparing Israel for the coming Messiah.

The scene evokes the ministry of John near the Jordan River, where he proclaimed repentance, called the people to turn back to God, and baptized those who confessed their sins. His message points beyond himself: the kingdom of heaven is near, and One greater is coming. This artwork is well suited for teaching on repentance, baptism, prophetic ministry, Advent preparation, and the opening of the Gospel narrative.
