    A look at the greatness of John and his baptism of Jesus

    JOHN THE BAPTIZER 1. Matthew tells us nothing about the childhood of Jesus.

    A Tale Of The Unexpected !

    John was shocked when the sinless Jesus asked to be baptised. Jesus identifies with us in his baptism. We identify with him when we are baptised and we too can receive God’s Spirit! Truly this is a tale of the unexpected.

    The Baptism of Jesus must surely qualify as a ‘Tale of the Unexpected’! Have you ever been somewhere or seen something which was the exact opposite of what you were expecting? Have you ever been waiting expectantly for an event, only for the event itself to come as a total surprise or even a big ...read more

    Many times when we talk about our Baptisms we talk about the stories of our own Baptism and not the Baptism that started it all, not the story that started it all. The Gospel and the 2nd reading for this Sunday (Acts 10) both point to the over arching sto

    Why would the son of God be baptized? I was told that it was an example. But there has to be more to it than this. And there is.

    This is the season in the church year of Epiphany, which means coming in the flesh. It is the season where the scriptures focus on the life of Jesus starting with the beginning of his ministry when Jesus was baptized. So we are going to look at the passage where Jesus got dunked.
