219: 01-03-2026 Luke (Part 13) The Baptism That Reveals God
About this episode
This episode discusses the significance of Jesus' baptism as a revelation of the Triune God and the beginning of the gospel.
The Baptism That Reveals God (Luke 3:21–22) — When Jesus steps into the Jordan “with the crowds,” heaven opens, the Spirit descends like a dove, and the Father’s voice declares, “You are my dearly loved Son, and you bring me great joy.” In this moment we see the Triune God at work and the gospel beginning in public: (1) Jesus joins us in our mess (Identification)—the sinless Son stands in the sinners’ line and begins the path that ends at the cross; (2) The Father brings us into His love (Revelation)—the Father’s delight in the Son reveals God as eternal love and invites us, through Christ, into that love; and (3) The Holy Spirit fills us with His power (Anointing)—the Spirit rests on Jesus to commission his mission and, through Jesus, empowers his people for faithful living and witness.Luke 3:21-22
