Manage episode 394435390 series 3453280
At his baptism in the Jordan River Jesus was publicly anointed with the Holy Spirit and designated by God the Father as his chosen Messiah. Thus, Jesus’ baptism was the beginning of his public ministry. Jesus’ baptism revealed that he was not just a nice guy who could make a sturdy table. He was God’s chosen servant, the one who had come to bring salvation to the ends of the earth. Jesus is the one willing to stand in our place as our substitute and Savior. Jesus’ baptism reveals to us who he really is. Our own baptism does the same! Our baptism was the beginning of a new and better life—our “eternal life”! This gift is graciously given to us by our truest friend. This gift completely changes the direction of our lives. This is a gift we can lean on every day for peace, strength, hope, and a clearer understanding of who we and our true purpose in life.
