When all the people were baptized, it came to pass that Jesus also was baptized; and while He prayed, the heaven was opened.
Luke 3:21 NKJV
I was thinking about my baptism when I read this passage. After I heard the gospel and began to understand the Bible, I was thrilled to wade into the waters of baptism. I was able to identify with Jesus in my baptism.
Now, as I read about Jesus’ baptism, I know He did it for me. It wasn’t for His sins, but for my sins. He didn’t have to do it, but He couldn’t be talked out of it.
I love identifying with the One who loves identifying with me.
Jesus, May everything I do today and every step I take be pleasing to You. Amen.
