Baptism of the Lord First Reading: Isaiah 55: 1-11 Today’s reading is from a part of Isaiah written when the Jewish people were exiled in Babylon, which is in modern -day Iraq. This section if often referred to as the “book of comfort” because of the encouragement it gives. Today’s passage is the finale to this “book of comfort” and uses the image of poor people being invited by God to a joyful banquet. Second Reading: 1 John 5:1-9 In this passage, the author of the first letter of John emphasizes belief in Jesus Christ as Son of God. He uses phrases and symbols which describe Christ’s baptism, death and resurrection. The Spirit, present at these events, testifies to Christ as son of God. Such testimony is far superior to any human witness. Scripture Focus: Mark 1:7-11 The Christmas season comes to an end with this feast of the Lord’s baptism. God reveals his son to us as Jesus begins his work. The creation account in Genesis tells us that the spirit hovered over the waters and brought forth the world out of chaos. In the account of the baptism, Jesus comes up out of the water and the spirit descends upon him as a sign of God’s favor. A new world is created in Christ. Living God’s Word At baptism, the Spirit came upon you in the presence of the Christian community, claiming you in Jesus’ name, and God said, “You are my beloved son/daughter.” Spend some time praying over these words. What do you say to God in return? How does it affect what you do in life? YOU CAN UNDERSTAND THE BIBLE If you want a better understanding of our faith, and a deeper relationship with God, then you should join us for The Bible Timeline Study. The study will include a series of twenty-four videos presented by Jeff Cavins. (Perfect attendance is not necessary.) Each video will be preceded by a lively group discussion. St. Ambrose will continue The Bible Timeline each Thursday, at 9:00AM and 6:45PM in the Pastoral Center. For more information contact Mary Ann Bray at 4654049.
