It Is Only Right

13 Then Jesus left Galilee to come to the Jordan to be baptized by John. 14 But when he waded into the water, John resisted him saying, “Why are you doing this? I’m the one who needs to be baptized by you, and yet you come to be baptized by me?” 15 Jesus replied, “It is only right to do all that God requires.” Then John baptized Jesus. 16 And as Jesus rose up out of the water, the heavenly realm opened up over him and he saw the Holy Spirit descend out of the heavens and rest upon him in the form of a dove. 17 Then suddenly the voice of the Father shouted from the sky, saying, “This is the Son I love, and my greatest delight is in him.” Jesus, from the beginning, was always willing to do all that God required of Him. Here He is in front of a crowd of people stepping into the water and asking John to baptize Him. After John first refused to baptize Jesus, he too did the right thing that God required. We probably have the opportunity many times in our daily lives to be faced with doing all that God requires of us. Will I/you do as John and Jesus did and do all that God requires? Thank You, Father, that as Your children we have the privilege of doing all that You ask and require of us. In this new year, new season help me to be faithful to respond to You. I love You. AMEN Yes God, Your Word is something to sing about! You are true to Your promises, Your Word can be trusted. All You do is reliable and right! Psalm 33
