1st. Sunday after Epiphany: Jesus Baptism, Our Story

3d ago 15:54

MP3•Episodio en casa

This week Luke’s Gospel Luke 3:15-17, 21,22 brings us the story of Jesus’ baptism, and God’s gift of the Holy Spirit resting upon Jesus. The Epistle reading recalls the great blessing of the Holy Spirit bestowed on a group of new believers who had been baptised in Jesus’ name. There are many blessings to unpack here for us who are baptised in Jesus’ name!
We understand that through baptism we enter into the life and death of Jesus. We are clothed in His love and share in all the richness that God gives His Son. Sometimes we will suffer in this life of following Him, just as Jesus suffered. However, how much more are the blessings we receive! We are called ‘God’s children’, His ‘beloved’, ‘heirs to the Kingdom through Christ’- and gifted the Holy Spirit to walk alongside us as we live. Through baptism God builds an ever-closer relationship with us, that we can never break! May your heart be filled with the joy and wonder of so many good gifts as you journey through this week.
This message was written for LCA and read by Jimmy Hong Ning.
