Good Morning,

Today's writing is by Kathryn Hanson. She is telling the story of the Baptism of Jesus and the meaning of it. During His Baptism all three members of the Blessed Trinity were present together for the first time. Kathryn wrote, "It was like Springtime as the earth comes alive after lying dormant. I saw heaven come to earth. It reminded me of when Jesus was coming up out of the water, heaven was opened, and the Spirit was descending like a dove. The voice of God said, "This is my beloved Son whom I love."

What a beautiful happening.

God bless
Kathryn and Corinne

Today's Devotional
"Water Baptism"

Therefore we were buried with Him that just as Christ was raised from the dead
by the glory of the Father, even so we
also should walk in newness of life.
Romans 6:4

Water baptism is one of the most beautiful outward appearances of our saying yes to our precious Jesus. Just recently I had the honor of being part of such a time of celebration. A celebration of leaving the old behind and stepping into the new. I saw the power of our living God come alive in the house of the Lord as each person was brought up out of the water. Brothers and sisters in Christ erupted into joyous shouts of victory.

It was like Springtime as the earth comes alive after lying dormant. I saw heaven come to earth. It reminded me of when Jesus was coming up out of the water, heaven was opened, and the Spirit was descending like a dove. The voice of God said, "This is my beloved Son whom I love."

We are His beloved sons and daughters whom He loves. The awesome significance is that it symbolizes the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ in our identification with Him.
