When we read the story of Jesus’ baptism it is easy to think it is all about the Spirit dipping down, the heavens ripping open and God proclaiming His affection for His Son. While all important and a big deal, there is more, much more, to this reading and you’ll just have to come to church this Sunday to find out what is hidden in these verses for us! See you there!
