Always wondered about the baptism of Jesus. Looking forward to hearing more. My own baptism was definitely a major turning point, the turning point of my life, decades ago. Water, being a part of God’s “toolbox”, will be a great reminder of how He continues to bless His creation. Rain, rivers, oceans, single drops of sweat, all this water on the planet, I imagine was there at the origin of creation, all locked in the earth’s atmosphere. Thanks for the lessons. Keep up the good work.
“There is something that God wants me to know, feel, or do differently because of what I am about to read.”
God wants me to feel grateful for Jesus baptism and the implications it has for my own salvation. I am grateful to be living during this “new era”having the opportunity to learn about Christ, fall in love with him, and develop an eternal relationship with him. This process has been made possible through the waters of baptism, and I am absolutely grateful that i was baptized when I was in college. That was my own personal “new era”. I am also grateful that through his spirit, I am being cleansed and renewed each and every day in my walk with God.
“Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.
