The baptism of Jesus Mark 1:9-11
At that time Jesus came from Nazareth in Galilee and was baptised by John in the Jordan. Just as Jesus was coming up out of the water, he saw heaven being torn open and the Spirit descending on him like a dove. And a voice came from heaven: “You are my Son, whom I love; with you I am well pleased.”
Take a moment for these words to sit at peace within you.
It is not our task to analyse them, but to notice what rises within us.
Prayer
John and the crowds gathered that day, were to witness the announcement of God made flesh. The Father’s words are spoken to us today. He loves us and is well pleased – may I listen more to the voice of my Father and less to that of the many voices within and without me. Amen.
