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; and behold, a voice from heaven said, “This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased.”
The beginning of the ministry of God, the Son, as Jesus the Christ, the Incarnate Son of God. Joined by God, the Spirit to bring the message of salvation by grace to the fallen creation; it is an awesome moment.
We celebrate the Nativity, the Crucifixion, the Resurrection, and Pentecost as important events in the foundation of the Church. Why not this, the First Pentecost, the joining of God, the Son by God, the Holy Spirit to work the will of God the Father to restore the Creation to the LORD, God, the Almighty.
