Baptism of the
Lord
13Then Jesus came from Galilee to John at the Jordan, to be
baptized by him. 14John would have prevented him,
saying, "I need to be baptized by you, and do you come to me?"
15But Jesus answered him, "Let it be so now; for it is
proper for us in this way to fulfill all righteousness." Then he consented.
16And when Jesus had been baptized, just as he came up
from the water, suddenly the heavens were opened to him and he saw the Spirit of
God descending like a dove and alighting on him. 17And
a voice from heaven said, "This is my Son, the Beloved, with whom I am well
pleased."
Matthew 3:13-17

The familiar life
horizon has been outgrown;
the old concepts, ideals and emotional patterns no
longer fit;
the time for the passing of a threshold is at
hand.
