Mt 3:13-17
Though the Son of Man, Jesus went through baptism like any one of us. It showed his obedience to God as he confessed “Allow it now, for thus it is fitting for us to fulfil all righteousness.” without a tint of arrogance as the Son of Man. He humbled himself down to our level to be like us going through baptism. This showed his surrender of his total self to God’s will. Jesus is my example on how to be a humble person, especially a leader. He was here to serve as a man despite his status as the Son of Man. I am also here to share God’s love with the others through my gifts like how Jesus had served the community throughout his life according to God’s will.
I can also imagine myself back to the time when I was baptized and my Heavenly Father was telling me, “This is my beloved daughter, with whom I am well pleased.” out of Love. Isn’t it beautiful to be chosen as a child of God to be part of Love and I responded to God’s love through my baptism?
With Love,
Elena
