Baptism of the Lord Sunday

Baptism of the Lord Sunday

We don’t always appreciate the sacrament of baptism as much as we can. It is a sacrament where heaven is opened up to us, where the Holy Spirit descends upon us, and where we hear God say, “You are my beloved child, with you I am well pleased.” How did we receive this great gift? Through God humbling himself and becoming one with those in need.

Welcome

Thank you for visiting my blog. Here I hope you will find things useful for our walk with the Lord. May we be transformed in the Father's love through his Word and his Spirit.

(2) I love you, Lord, my strength.I love you, O LORD, my strength,O LORD, my rock, my fortress, my deliverer.R.
