It seems somehow strange that the church this Sunday already the feast of the Baptism celebrates the Lord. Christmas ..., to feast of the Sacred ..., Three Kings ... so far is what this circuit is always hard for the child. And now Baptism? After all, was Jesus at his baptism is simply a grown man The reason for that. It is also in the baptism of Jesus to the the Epiphany, the ancient mystery of Christmas and Epiphany. Jesus is represented in the world. He is revealed to man as Savior and Redeemer. When Jesus was baptized by John, when the heavens opened and the Holy Spirit descended like a dove upon Jesus visibly reduced. This came a voice: "You are my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased." But we must pay attention to it once in the Trinity manuscript of the action. In Jesus' baptism in the Jordan of the Triune God is in His great love for us: Jesus, the Son of God, anointed by the heavenly Father in the Holy Spirit and used ceremonially as the Messiah. In other words
Philliperbrif it then: "Jesus Christ was equal with God, but did not set out to be like God, but emptied himself and became like a slave, and the likeness of men." Jesus is now in the number of people and baptized. God the Father reveals him as his beloved son. Those who know him, recognize him in the glory of the Father.
Do I want to recognize Jesus as the Son of God and my Saviour? This is the crucial question. If I can answer it, I understood what it really is. Not only at Christmas, Epiphany and Baptism of the Lord ...
