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?
