【Reflection on Mt 3:13-17】

【瑪竇福音3:13-17分享】
耶穌在約但河受洗時,肯定自己是天主所喜悅的兒子,接受了天父的派遣,遵行天父的旨意,完成救贖的使命。1月12日是主受洗節,求主派遣聖神啓迪我們,在面對信仰生活的挑戰時,能互相鼓勵扶持,遵行先知、司祭、君王的三重使命。
【This Is My Beloved Son】
Jesus came from Galilee to John at the Jordan to be baptized by him. John tried to prevent him, saying, “I need to be baptized by you, and yet you are coming to me?” Jesus said to him in reply, “Allow it now, for thus it is fitting for us to fulfill all righteousness.”Then he allowed him. After Jesus was baptized, he came up from the water and behold, the heavens were opened for him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and coming upon him. And a voice came from the heavens, saying, “This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased.”
