Meeting in the waters
Luke 3.15-17,21-22This is the first time in Luke’s Gospel that we meet the adult Jesus, as he comes forward for baptism. John’s call to repentance made people wonder if he was the promised Messiah. However, 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.
This week we explore God’s promise to be with us as we ‘pass through the waters’. We reflect on meeting Jesus and each other in the water of life’s challenges, and remember significant times of ‘crossing over’.
