What might baptism have meant for Jesus and what might it mean for us today? On the Baptism of the Lord Sunday, Christopher Mack plunges into waters of chaos and upheaval to hear baptism as an invitation to be transformed into the person, who by God’s grace, we are called into becoming…for God, ourselves, and one another. [Isaiah 43:1-2; Luke 3:21-22]
Reflection
- What wisdom have you gained from participating in a community moving through fear and upheaval together?
- How can we reorient ourselves around that which is life-giving, for our flourishing, inviting us into mutuality and interdependent beloved community?
- If you feel you’ve lost sight of who you’re becoming in Christ, how can you listen for the voice calling you beloved this week?
