Jesus - God with a Face

Today I was reading Luke 3:21-22, which is the story of Jesus baptism by John.  John had been baptising people down at the river Jordan for repentnace.  Jesus came to John to be baptised but John at first refuse until Jesus told John that His baptism would fulfill all things.  When Jesus came up out of the water the Holy Spirit, came upon Him in the form of a dove and a voice spoke out of heaven saying, "This is my beloved Son in whom I am well pleased."  This incident is the perfect sign of trinity and unity.  This also was Jesus coming out party.  He was no longer the carpenter from Nazareth.  He was the preacher of truth and righteousness.  God's representative here on earth.  Jesus would show the world what the Father was really like.  Jesus showed Himself for whom He is, God with a face.  Jesus is the perfect blending of the human and the divine.  He is 100% God and 100% man.  The God man.  I love to know that we have a perfect saviour.  Today when you come to the Father through Jesus Christ know that all this was purchase through His death, burial and resurrection.  Jesus' body was broken and He shed His bloood so you and I can have a relationship with God.  This fact must never be overlooked or forgotten.  Your salvation is free but it was expensive for Jesus.  Live and work for Him today.
