Listen to Our Latest Sermon: The Baptism of Jesus
This Sunday the church asks us to meditate upon the baptism of Jesus. It is something of a puzzle why Jesus seeks out baptism at the hands of John the Baptist, but Matthew's account asserts that he does this to "fulfill all righteousness." In Peter's preaching from the epistle reading in Acts he says the story of salvation begins here, with the baptism of Christ, which establishes his sonship in relation to his Heavenly Father and commissions him for ministry. Fr. Jeff argues that our baptism does the same: It makes us true children of God and commission us for ministry.
