In our Gospel (Mark 6:45-52), Jesus gets baptized by John the Baptist. John's baptism was all about the forgiveness of sins, yet Jesus is without sin, so what's the deal?
When Jesus comes up out of the water, the heavens IMMEDIATELY open, the Spirit descends on him like a dove, and a voice from heaven says "You are my beloved Son; with you I am well pleased."
Jesus fully submits to God's will from the very beginning of His ministry until the end! He doesn't necessairly have all the answers or reasons for what God has planned or why, but he follows anyway. He is the model we are to follow in ALL things.
Jesus shows total and complete humility by being cleansed of sins he never committed and then taking our sins on the cross!
Do you want change in your life? Humble yourself before God and start submitting to Him and His Will and His plans for you.
