At the start of the Gospel, John the Baptist sees himself as unworthy to untie the Messiah\u2019s sandals. The Messiah is \u201cone more powerful\u201d and will baptize \u201cwith the Holy Spirit and with fire (Lk 3:16).\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

In three steps, Jesus\u2019 baptism reveals what it means to be a beloved child of God because He is the Beloved Son. The first is that Jesus is baptized and prays (Lk 3:21). Jesus\u2019 baptism is different from the others baptized by John. Those baptized by John need to be cleansed of their sins (Lk 3:3). Jesus does not. Rather, Jesus enters the waters of the Jordan to \u201ctake away the sins of the world\u201d by drawing them unto Himself. Jesus consecrates Himself to the Father\u2019s will. He accepts the cross because \u201cthe wages of sin is death (Rm 6:23).\u201d Here, we see Jesus putting His prayer and intimacy with the Father into action.<\/span><\/p>\n

The second part is the Holy Spirit descends on Jesus in the form of a dove. This parallels Noah sending the dove from the ark after the Great Flood (Gen 8:11). In both the flood and baptism, God renews with water. Noah\u2019s dove returns with an olive branch – a symbol of peace. Likewise, the Holy Spirit, taking on the \u201cbodily form of a dove,\u201d descends on Jesus with \u201cthe peace of God which surpasses all understanding (Ph 4:7).\u201d Death makes anyone anxious (cf Lk 22:43-44). In this case, the Father sends the Holy Spirit, bringing Jesus the peace needed to drink the cup of suffering.<\/span><\/p>\n

The third part is the Father speaking to the Son: \u201c<\/span>You <\/span><\/i>are <\/span>my <\/span><\/i>beloved Son; with <\/span>you I <\/span><\/i>am well pleased (Lk 3:22).\u201d Here at the baptism, we hear the Father\u2019s eternal love for the Son. Who could not be encouraged by the Father\u2019s words? Upon hearing the Father\u2019s love, the Son sets off and begins to claim \u201cthe victory of justice (Is 42:6)\u201d for the Father: a justice that Jesus takes upon Himself on Good Friday, and a victory revealed at Easter.<\/span><\/p>\n

For us baptized in Christ Jesus, we are called first to accept the Father\u2019s love in Jesus Christ, and second to proclaim \u201cJesus Christ is Lord (Ph 2:11).\u201d But the Father\u2019s love demands everything of us. Love demands we follow Christ by embracing our cross in the certain hope of receiving the glorious crown of life. Hans Urs von Balthasar says faith, which produces love, demands moving from loving God by gazing at his face to loving God by obeying His will in the world – from adoration to obedience.<\/span><\/p>\n

But Jesus does not abandon us (cf Lk 24:49). He sends the Holy Spirit to \u201cenkindle in us the fire of [His] love.\u201d The Holy Spirit gives us the peace and boldness to go out and proclaim the Gospel both in word and deed. Let us live as a beloved child of God following the steps of the Beloved Son.<\/span><\/p>\n
