Jesus Steps into the Water

The Baptism of the Lord reminds us who Jesus is and what He came to do. He walks into the Jordan River, not because He needs to, but to show us the way. This moment tells us that Jesus is ready to serve. He stands with us, not above us.

As He comes out of the water, something amazing happens. The Holy Spirit comes down like a dove. God speaks from heaven and calls Jesus His beloved Son. This is the first clear sign that Jesus is sent by God to bring peace and healing.

The Baptism of the Lord is not only about what happened that day. It also points to our own baptism. Like Jesus, we are called to live with love and to follow God’s path each day. This feast invites us to remember that we belong to God too.

Prayer

Lord, thank You for the gift of Jesus and His example of humility and service. Help us to live out our baptismal call by sharing Your light with others. Guide us through the Holy Spirit to follow You each day. May we always trust in Your plan and grow in faith. Amen.
