We discussed the baptism of Jesus by John last week. Our Gospel today is from Matthew 3:13-17.
In this gospel, Jesus goes to John for the purpose of being baptized, but John protested. God revealed to John who Jesus really was and John knows it should be Jesus baptizing him!
Jesus insisted because he had to fulfill the prophesies and had to follow His Father's will. Jesus is the perfect example of how to live and how to love. He Shows His love of the Father by humbly submitting to His will.
We can only know true joy and peace when we submit fully to what God has for us. When we try to do anything against His will and His timing, it just doesn't work out well. Seek His Will and then humbly submit to it!
