Christ Is Baptized

The moment when the Enfleshed God enters into the waters of Baptism for our salvation.

Christ is baptized! In The Jordan!

We all come to moments in our lives that turn out to be crossroads in our future.

We can often see these moments coming, like a marriage proposal, that first purchase of a home, or career advancement; some (maybe even many) of these moments sneak up on us and surprise us with their importance even years after the event. I can think of several moments in my life that, looking back, had a profound effect on the trajectory of my life. As I look at these moments, I am filled with emotions: gratitude, shame, regret, fear, joy, and everything in between. What about your life?

What were the crossroads in your life? Successes? Mistakes? Milestones? Wrong turns? I imagine all of these and more ring a bell for you. But there are moments in history that are turning points for the whole human race, and that’s what we are confronting today.

Today’s Feast sees the Uncreated God in the Flesh pressing Himself back into the creation He made and reclaiming His creation as His gift to us all!
