Matthew 3:13-17

A short midweek discussion of some of the details and significance of Luke's account of the baptism of Jesus.

In today's discussion we consider the connection between Jesus' identity (revealed at his baptism) and his mission. In this we consider how Jesus was led and empowered by the Holy Spirit during his ministry on earth. We experience union with Christ as we follow him in baptism.

Sermon from New City Church.

This sermon explores the pivotal moment at the Jordan River where John the Baptist's prophetic mission meets its ultimate fulfillment in the arrival of the Messiah. Though John initially resists baptizing the sinless Savior, Jesus insists on this act to fully identify with the humanity He came to redeem. The event serves as a stunning reveal of the Trinity in action, as the Father's voice and the descending Spirit confirm Jesus' identity as the promised King and suffering Servant. By submitting to baptism, Jesus sets the stage for His ultimate mission of forgiveness through the cross and resurrection. We conclude by challenging listeners to reflect on their own public identification with Christ and the assurance of their identity as children of God.

Luke 3:21-22 Jesus’ baptism – an incredible act of obedience and humility, is a model for His followers. Baptism shows us that, through repentance and faith in Jesus for the forgiveness of sins, heaven is opened to us through Jesus, giving us communion with God the Father. We receive the Holy Spirit, who descends on us when we have faith in Christ. We hear the voice of God the Father, who calls us sons & daughters in union with Christ the Son, who loves us deeply and is pleased with us on account of His being pleased with his eternal Son.

In Luke 3:21–23, Jesus is baptized, the Holy Spirit descends on Him like a dove, and God declares His love and joy over His Son. This 2 Minute Disciple devotional reflects on how, because we are in Christ, God's love and joy extend to us as well.

We continue our journey through Epiphany by looking at the story of Jesus's baptism. This is the first public event of Jesus's life (that we know about), and it is packed full of Epiphany-rich meaning. In this message Josh Scott talks about forming identity, and the ways life inevitably tries to make us doubt who we really are.⛪️ To learn more about who we are and what we do, visit https://gracepointe.net/about-us

In this message from Matthew 3, we encounter John the Baptist crying out in the wilderness with a simple but confrontational call: repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand. As Jesus steps into the Jordan to be baptized, we see the upside-down nature of God's kingdom on full display—where humility comes before power, obedience before recognition, and identity before performance. From repentance and fruit-bearing faith to sanctification, salvation, and the refining fire of the Holy Spirit, this passage invites us to re-examine how we're doing life and whose way we're truly following. John prepared the way for Jesus' first coming—and now we are called to prepare people for His return. Where might God be asking you to change direction so heaven can break into earth through your life?

When Jesus comes to the Jordan, He looks like everyone else standing in line to be baptized by John. Yet John knows the truth. This man has no sin. John hesitates, knowing the order seems backwards. He should be the one kneeling, not Jesus. But our Lord insists. This must be done to fulfill all righteousness. Jesus' baptism is unlike ours. He does not enter the water to have sin washed away. He enters the water to take sin upon Himself. Your sin. My sin. He steps into the place of sinners so that He might carry our guilt all the way to the cross and leave it buried in the tomb. The righteous One comes to make things right with those who are not righteous. And then heaven opens. The Spirit descends like a dove. The Father's voice resounds from above, declaring His pleasure in His Son. Heaven reaches down to earth in a way never seen before. This is not just a moment in history. This is what baptism is. God coming to us. Heaven touching earth. The promise that sinners are claimed, forgiven, and named children of God. Baptism is not our work reaching up to God. It is God's gracious work coming down to us. The gate of heaven stands open because Christ has stepped into the water for us. ----- Worship Times Sunday – 8:00 & 10:45 a.m. Monday – 6:30 p.m. https://trinitysheboygan.org https://facebook.com/trinitysheboygan We are a congregation of the Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod.

The Baptism of Jesus speaks to us of his incredible humility.  Without being a sinner, Jesus plays the role of one by letting himself be baptized by John the Baptist.  Humility unlocks our ability to love God and others.  It protects our peace and joy.

"The Baptism of Jesus"Matthew 3:13-2713 Then Jesus came from Galilee to the Jordan to be baptized by John. 14 But John tried to deter him, saying, “I need to be baptized by you, and do you come to me?”15 Jesus replied, “Let it be so now; it is proper for us to do this to fulfill all righteousness.” Then John consented.16 As soon as Jesus was baptized, he went up out of the water. At that moment heaven was opened, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and alighting on him. 17 And a voice from heaven said, “This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased.” CONNECT WITH USIf you have any questions or would like to get to know us further, head over to https://www.triumphlbc.org/connect and fill out our online connection card.ABOUT TRIUMPHTriumph wants to see the life and message of Jesus transform your heart, home, and city.

Jason Steiner read our scripture lessons: Isaiah 42:1-9 and Matthew 3:13-17. Rev. Laura Mayo gave the proclamation.

The baptism of Jesus teaches us how we don't need to clean ourselves up before coming to God, rather Jesus came to us, and it is through him we are made clean.

Rev. Austin Pfeiffer explores our fear that God's love must be earned and how Jesus's baptism answers that fear. Jesus' baptism reveals both his humility in identifying with sinners and his perfect righteousness given to us through his life, death, and resurrection. Not because of anything we've done, Jesus' answers the reality that we cannot earn God's love. Because we are united to Christ, the Father views us with the same approval and affection he declares over his Son.

In this week's sermon we look at the baptism of Jesus.

Listen to this week's sermon, The Nicene Creed: Our Father (Advent) preached by Pastoral Resident Kenneth Dyches from Luke 3:21-22.

Fr. Mike elaborates on the significance of the Baptism of Jesus in the Jordan River. He points out that the location of the Jordan River is particularly noteworthy because it's the same river that Joshua crossed over to lead the Israelites into the Promised Land, signifying that Jesus will bring about a new exodus. Additionally, it's the lowest spot on the planet, symbolizing Jesus' humility. Finally, Fr. Mike emphasizes that when we are baptized, we are adopted as beloved sons and daughters of God because what belongs to Jesus by his nature is given to us by God's grace. Today we read Luke 3-5 and Proverbs 25:27-28. For the complete reading plan, visit ascensionpress.com/bibleinayear. Please note: The Bible contains adult themes that may not be suitable for children - parental discretion is advised.

Fr. Mike introduces us to the Gospel of Matthew, including his genealogy, nativity, and the first days of his ministry. He pulls it all together to show that not only is Jesus reconstituting the kingdom in his ministry, but he's inviting us to join him in this kingdom. Today's readings are Matthew 1-4, and Proverbs 18:17-20. For the complete reading plan, visit ascensionpress.com/bibleinayear.
