Baptism of Jesus...
Today, I baptized Jesus Christ in the Jordan River. It was one of the most magnificant things I have ever done in my life, to lay my hands on the Messiah and give him the gift of baptism and new life. The feeling I had as I layed my hands on him was indescribable and wonder in all. I felt honored to be in Jesus's presence. At first when Jesus came to me to baptize him I didn't know what to say. I felt as I was not worthy or qualified but as I described my feeling to him he made me feel worthy and at peace to baptize him. After I baptized Jesus a dove came from Heaven and landed on him. After the dove landed on Jesus I heard God's voice and God said, "You are my beloved Son, whom I am pleased" As I heard God's voice I was completly convinced that Jesus was the Son of God. I will never forget this incredible experience.

I'm so proud of you, John! I knew when Gabriel came to me that you were special; I knew the moment I got pregnant after being barren for so long that you were special! I'm also glad that you too are devoted to the Lord as much as I am, for it is the Lord that gave you to me. You never cease to impress me, young one, and I will always be proud of you!

ReplyDeletePs thats a cool picture of you in the river :)
It is pretty amazing that you were able to baptize Jesus. I hope it was a great event, and best wishes to both of you.
ReplyDeleteThis makes you like an angel. I feel many people will come to you for their baptisms since you have blessed the Lord. Your story will help me develop a vivid account of Jesus' birth. I am so grateful and delighted that you went through with his request even though you were apprehensive at first.
ReplyDeleteIt is really amazing that you baptized Jesus. Your story will go down in my gospel. You must be important for Jesus to let you baptize him.
