Bear Grylls fulfils 'dream' of being baptised in Jordan River.
Bear Grylls has spoken of his joy after being baptised in the Jordan River at the site where Jesus was baptised.
The TV adventurer shared the happy occasion on his Instagram along with a photo of himself waist-deep in water, eyes closed as he was about to be plunged.
In the caption, he said that being baptised in the same place as Jesus was baptised by his "hero" John the Baptist was a "dream".
He also shared a little about Luke and his admiration for his Gospel, which records the baptism of Jesus in chapter 3.
Grylls said that the story of Jesus' baptism was "amazing" and that Luke's account was "reliable" and "poignant". CT.
