Feast of the Baptism of the Lord
With the Feast of the Baptism of the Lord. Jesus certainly did not need to be baptized by John the Baptist, because John’s baptism was one of repentance. However, Jesus told John the Baptist to perform the ritual because of the significance of what would happen. At the Jordan, the Father said that Jesus was His beloved Son and that He was well pleased with Him; the Holy Spirit descended upon Jesus, and Jesus began His public life. This was another Epiphany, another manifestation of Jesus as our Savior.
When we were baptized, the Father told us that we were His beloved children. The Spirit came down upon us, and everything that we did after Baptism glorified and praised God. We are baptized only once, but we are called to live out our baptism each day, aware of the relationship with God and aware that we are to live each day for Him
