Epiphany 1
Matthew 3.13-17Context
Our exploration of wisdom and foolishness moves deeper into the life of Jesus himself this week as we examine the scene of his baptism by John in the river Jordan.
Common thread: Wise or foolish question? (Matthew 3.13-17)
Was it wise, foolish or inevitable for John to challenge Jesus who came to him for baptism? What wisdom within Jesus led him to seek this affirmation for the journey on which he was about to embark?
An alternative thread for adults, Model servant, is based on Isaiah 42.1-9.
