RESOURCE OF THE MONTH
AN INEXPRESSIBLE TREASURE: HOLY BAPTISM
We just finished celebrating the birth of Jesus. We don’t have any information about Jesus’ childhood except one account in Luke of the boy Jesus in the temple sitting among the teachers.
In the Gospel of Luke, he quickly fasts forward to Jesus’ Baptism, when Jesus starts His public ministry. This begins the reign of the Kingdom of God here on earth, opened to all people. However, not all people enter His kingdom. Through this Bible study, learn how we enter the Kingdom of God as helpless children, born anew by water and the Spirit. Discover how in Baptism we become God’s beloved children.
“John answered them all, saying, ‘I baptize you with water, but he who is mightier than I is coming, the strap of whose sandals I am not worthy to untie. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and with fire.’”
(Luke 3:16)
