Re-sourced by God
Luke 3.15-17,21-22This is the first time in Luke’s Gospel we meet the adult Jesus, as he comes forward for baptism. John’s call to repentance, meaning a change of mind, made people wonder if he was the promised Messiah. John makes it clear that the Messiah is still to come and will baptize with the Holy Spirit. When Jesus is baptized, the Holy Spirit comes on him and God’s voice names him as beloved – a true sign of who Jesus is.
We have been called by name and we belong to God, we too are his beloved children. This week’s passage prompts us to explore what that ‘belovedness’ means, and what it is that re-sources and refreshes us.
This week we explore knowing ourselves to be loved.
