Let’s do this
Matthew 3.13-17Jesus comes to the river Jordan and is baptized by John, who is reluctant because he thinks Jesus should baptize him. The Spirit descends on Jesus and a heavenly voice calls him God’s beloved Son.
The baptism of Jesus is a wonderful image of Jesus’ submission. Jesus knew that to demonstrate his obedience he needed to go through John’s water of repentance. As he came up out of the water, he heard the words that showed God’s attitude towards him: ‘my Son…with whom I am well pleased’. In the light of this, we explore our commitment to God and how it shapes our behaviour and attitudes.
This week we explore starting with the right attitude.
