Who’s That In The River?
Let us never cease to be amazed that God has allowed us easy access to events that forever changed the course of humankind! Today we are eye witnesses to this: Jesus being baptized by John in the Jordan River! Take a moment to focus on this event intently. John had been living in the desert, but now had come to spend time by the river preaching about the soon coming of the long-awaited Messiah. John was clear as he declared, “One who is more powerful than I will come, the straps of whose sandals I am not worthy to untie. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire.” Luke 3:16
After many others were baptized, Jesus steps forward to join in. Although Luke pens less details about this moment than John the Apostle does, he describes the same response to Jesus’ baptism. Luke wrote,“as he [Jesus] was praying, heaven was opened and the Holy Spirit descended on Him in bodily form like a dove. And a voice came from heaven,’You are my Son, whom I love; with you I am well pleased.’” Imagine yourself as one in the crowd that day hearing the voice of God declaring for all of mankind the truth of who Jesus really is! Is there anything more that we need?
Now that we have been assured that Jesus is who He says He is, we can confidently rely and trust in all of the things He said and promised, right? Of course we can, and we should. Especially during a time of trouble, we must remind ourselves to rely on the One true source for guidance and comfort ---the One and Only Son of God!
QUESTIONS:
- Do I believe Jesus is the Son of the Most High God?
- Do I believe the things He’s promised me?
- Do my actions indicate that I believe His promises?
