Question
The Baptism of The Lord
January 12, 2025
Because of the power of John's baptism, the people's expectation is that they have found the Christ in John.
John points the people, however, to Jesus, who will bring an even more powerful baptism.
The Holy Spirit descended on Jesus, so does the Holy Spirit descend upon us;
Jesus is the beloved Son, so are we beloved children; God was well pleased with Jesus, so is God well pleased with us.
To what does such a baptism call us? What do we expect? What does God expect?
