And when Jesus was baptized, He went up immediately from the water and behold, the heaven were opened and He saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and alighting on Him; and lo, a voice from heaven, saying, “This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased.” Matthew 3:16, 17
Lord what a wonderful day this must have been for John. He was obedient to his calling and he was given the privilege of baptizing You. The dove descends. The voice comes from heaven. John witnessed it all.
Lord, thank You that we have the privilege of reading this account and knowing what went on that day.
Thank You for showing us how important it was for You to be baptized.
Thank You for Your example.
Oh how we thank You.
Thank You Lord.
