Water, Fire, Spirit

Based on Luke 3:15-22 and Romans 6:1-11, we explore the profound significance of Jesus' baptism for Christians. Jesus' baptism, though seemingly unnecessary for the sinless Son of God, was a pivotal moment. By joining humanity in baptism, Jesus identified with sinners, repenting on their behalf. Jesus' baptism foreshadowed his crucifixion, where he endured the "fire" of God's wrath for our sins. The Holy Spirit, received by Jesus at his baptism, is now also bestowed upon believers, granting them new life and eternal significance.
