Baptism of the lord

7 - 13 January 2018

A community of the baptized

Mark 1.4-11

Mark’s ‘good news’ begins with John, the prophet who heralds the coming of God. His baptism of repentance is a preparation for receiving the Holy Spirit. After Jesus receives John’s baptism, the Spirit descends upon him.
