Reflections
GOSPEL:
Matthew 3: 13-17
Why did Jesus insist that John baptize him
in the Jordan River? Jesus had no sin to
be washed away, no need to repent. But
Jesus had a great need to cooperate with
God’s plan of salvation. And that
plan required that he identify totally
with the people he had come to
save.
1.)
Note that Jesus does not contradict John
when he says, “I should be baptized
by you!” In a very real way, John was
right. However, Jesus only says,
“Give in for now.” Jesus had a
bigger plan in mind, and he was asking
John to cooperate by laying aside his own
way of thinking “for now.” Does
God ever ask you to “give in” on
smaller issues?
2.)
What is your response? How do you decide
whether to “give in” or not?
When is it important to you to be
“right” and when can you lay
aside your own way of thinking in order to
let God’s bigger plan
unfold?
