At the
beginning of Jesus’ ministry an event is recorded that captured the Trinity:
13
Then Jesus came from Galilee to the Jordan to John, to be baptized by him. 14
John would have prevented him, saying, “I need to be baptized by you, and do
you come to me?” 15 But Jesus answered him, “Let
it be so now, for thus it is fitting for us to fulfill all righteousness.” Then
he consented. 16 And when Jesus was baptized, immediately he went up from the water,
and behold, the heavens were opened to him, and he saw the Spirit of God
descending like a dove and coming to rest on him; 17 and behold, a voice from
heaven said, “This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased.” - Matthew 3:13–17
The Son,
Jesus – being obedient in baptism
The Spirit – descending like a dove, coming to rest on Jesus
The Father, God, speaking -
“This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased.”
Quite a
family gathering? This same Jesus, Spirit, and God are available to all of us!
“Everyone who calls on the Name of the Lord shall be saved.”
Amen?
