God is pleased with you!



Luke 3:21-23

When all the people were being baptized, Jesus was baptized too. And as he was praying, heaven was opened and the Holy Spirit descended on him in bodily form like a dove. And a voice came from heaven: “You are my Son, whom I love; with you I am well pleased.”

There are few events in the Bible where you can see God the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit undeniably present. In this show stopping moment, God says of Jesus' work, "This is good!"

At your baptism, God the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit were present as God's name was placed on you.

And now what the Father said about Jesus he says about you:
God is pleased with you!

When you remember your baptism, what does it remind you about who you are in God’s eyes?

This mystery is that through the gospel the Gentiles are heirs together with Israel, members together of one body, and sharers together in the promise in Christ Jesus. Read the context The clues were there throughout the Old Testament. God was planning...

Isaiah 60:1–3 Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord rises upon you. See, darkness covers the earth — and thick darkness is over the peoples, but the Lord rises upon you — and his glory appears over you. Nations will come to your light, — and kings to the brightness of your dawn. Read the context The neon sign glows outside the restaurant — OPEN. The bright sign brings people in from all over. A literal light led Magi to meet the Savior. And he still leads with his...

Matthew 2:9–11 The star they had seen when it rose went ahead of them until it stopped over the place where the child was. When they saw the star, they were overjoyed. On coming to the house, they saw the child with his mother Mary, and they bowed down and worshiped him. Read the context A star guides Magi from far away to greet the king.
