He Is My Beloved Son

 

He is my beloved son, in whom I am well pleased.

Jesus lived in Nazareth with Mary,His mother and Joseph His foster-father. When Jesus was thirty years old, prophet John the Baptist came up, preaching the message of conversion and giving the baptism of water for forgiveness of sins.

He wore a garment made of camel's hair with a leather belt round his waist and his food was locusts and wild honey.
He gave the baptism of repentance at river Jordan.
One day Jesus came from Nazareth to Jordan and received baptism from John the Baptist. When Jesus came out
of water, the Holy Spirit came down upon Him from heaven in the form of a dove. Then came a voice from heaven:
“ This is my son, the Beloved, with whom I am well pleased”(Matthew 3:17). Thus, God the Father revealed that Jesus is His beloved son.
The Church celebrates the Feast of Epiphany (Danha) on 6th January in commemoration of the Baptism of Jesus.
 
We become God's children through baptism. Hence, we have to live like children of God.

Let us sing

Jesus Christ, baptized by John,
Son of God, my Saviour Lord;
All my love to you I bring.
Father God, how great your love,
That makes me yours through baptism
Highest praise to you I sing.

Let us Pray

Jesus, the beloved Son of the
Heavenly Father, help us to
confess you as our Lord and God.
 
Holy Spirit descended upon
Jesus in the form of a dove.

live like sons and daughters of God.
