Sermon Text: Matthew 3:13-17
That we may walk and learn from You as your disciples
Jesus, we rejoice that You identified fully with your people. We rejoice that You were not aloof. You did not hold yourself apart or assume that your life was exempt from their troubles and trials.
You entered the waters of repentance as an act of solidarity and obedience. You entered those waters as a way of receiving the new thing, the new way of being human, that God was creating for God’s chosen ones in and through You.
We rejoice in You! We rejoice that God identified You as beloved Son. We rejoice that You have called us to walk with You and learn from You, as your disciples. We rejoice that through You, we, too, are God’s beloved sons and daughters. Amen.
