WHAT HAVE YOU DONE? In the gospel of Luke, the Father's affirmation of Jesus was clearly a public event. All those who had been baptized by John heard the voice and saw the Spirit descending upon Him. Makes one wonder where they were over the next three years. Did they seek Jesus out whenever He was near their town, tell their family and friends about Him, welcome Him into Jerusalem, stand with Mary at the foot of the cross? You too have been baptized and accepted Jesus as your Savior. What has been your response? |
