Matthew 3:13-17 - Lectionary for Baptism of Our Lord

Many churches throughout the world use a Bible reading schedule called a "lectionary." It's just a fancy word meaning "selected readings." Posts like this reflect on the readings for an upcoming Sunday or other Church holiday, as found in the historic one-year lectionary.

Baptism is a challenging issue. Especially in the last five hundred years or so it's caused dissent within Christianity, as some have rejected the application of baptism to those who are not already making a credible testimony of Christ as savior. We don't have a clear Old Testament practice of baptism per se, though there are ceremonial washings, and those seem to point to reconciliation with God. Many are even done in conjunction with a blood offering, which points to Jesus' sacrifice for us.

While we might have some debates about the efficacy of baptism, to whom baptism is appropriately applied, and even the mode of baptism, our passage from Matthew chapter three sidesteps all of those debtes.

Here Jesus presents himself to John, who has been calling people to repentance and then baptizing them based on their repentance. John is initially reluctant. Through the Holy Spirit he recognizes Jesus as the one who should baptize him, not the other way around. He understands Jesus to be the holy one who is in no need of repentance.

Jesus tells him to allow it so as to "fulfill all righteousness." Again, we have a cryptic statement. How should we understand it?

Whatever Jesus was saying, John understood it to be all right, and the action was ratified by God the Father and God the Holy Spirit. Jesus is the beloved Son, God the Son, the one who is able to fulfill all righteousness.

Many theologians over the generations have said that by Jesus' act of being baptized, then his subsequent command to baptize, he made a washing with water into an effective means of delivering God's grace to sinners. This would imply that when he fulfills "all righteousness" he is making it work so as to deliver righteousness to others.

Just a word about baptismal regeneration. If baptism washes us from sin, then we proceed to enter into sin as unrepentant people, baptism doesn't help us at all. If baptism washes us from sin, and we then live our lives as people who have been cleansed and set apart for God's purposes, remembering that we have been washed by God, it is exceptionally helpful. If, as some people say, it has no effect but to remind us that Jesus washes us from sin, if we take that reminder to heart, it still brings a benefit. There's no reason not to be baptized. There's no reason to live as one who has not been washed by God. There's every reason in the world, no matter your view of baptism, to live a life of purity before God.

1 Corinthians 1:26-31 - Lectionary for Baptism of Our Lord

Many churches throughout the world use a Bible reading schedule called a "lectionary." It's just a fancy word meaning "selected readings." Posts like this reflect on the readings for an upcoming Sunday or other Church holiday, as found in the historic one-year lectionary.

Not many were wise. Not many were powerful or noble. The apostle Paul here essentially states the obvious. There are relatively few outstandingly wise, powerful or noble people in the world. It's a minority, and we shouldn't be surprised at that. The observation is a little like saying that only five percent of people fall into the top five percent of income earners. 

Paul is calling the Corinthians to be conscious of who they are and what their standing might be. Some are wise. Some are not. Some are powerful. Others are not. Some are noble. Sadly, others are not. We don't idolize those who are poor, weak, and ignoble. We don't idolize anyone. But we need to be aware of who we are in Christ - heirs of all the riches of heaven. Compared to that, all your earthly riches won't accomplish anything. What if we have very little except a loving family? No matter how happy that loving family makes us, it is nothing compared to God's love in Christ. What of our family pedigree, or our lack of it? The greatest family in the world can't compare with the family of God. And the least of us, through faith in Christ, is adopted into God's family.

One of the criticisms made of the early Christians was based on the fact that some of their bishops and elders were also slaves. It was considered culturally inappropriate for a free person to take orders from a slave. However, when the slave is the bishop and the emperor is not, the emperor takes orders from the slave, in spiritual matters at least.

God has raised up in His Church an amazingly varied mix of people. Rich and poor, intelligent and unintelligent, good at this, good at that, all with different types of gifts and abilities. In 1 Corinthians 1 Paul calls the congregation to remember their place, their role, the way they can best serve in Christ's kingdom. All together, as those adopted by Jesus, we love and serve our neighbors, using the gifts He has given us.

Psalm 85 - Lectionary for Baptism of Our Lord

Many churches throughout the world use a Bible reading schedule called a "lectionary." It's just a fancy word meaning "selected readings." Posts like this reflect on the readings for an upcoming Sunday or other Church holiday, as found in the historic one-year lectionary.

Psalm 85:8-9 speaks of the Lord's goodness to his people. Yet at the same time it issues a word of caution. God speaks peace to the people, but they are not to "turn back to folly" (ESV). God has drawn near to his people. We see this very clearly in the New Testament accounts of Jesus, and particularly in his baptism. He has associated with us, even though we are sinful people.

It's easy to mistake someone's presence for approval of everything we think, say, or do. This is one of the reasons why I, as a pastor, won't attend some events which I think are strikingly outside of the bounds of historically acceptable practices. Like the early Christians who would distance themselves from sacrifices made to idols, I would choose not to engage in some activities, simply because my attendance or engagement could be seen as a tacit approval.

As God is present with his people in verses 8-9 of Psalm 85, he also warns them to avoid folly. He is not approving of the sins of the people, though he is ready to show care for them.

God's righteous presence in our lives does not approve our sin. It calls us to account for sin, then it points out that, in Christ's vicarious death, our sin has been atoned for. This doesn't give us license to sin. It gives us license to live in the peace that is created by God's faithfulness.

This, not some sort of moral code or set of rules and regulations, is the heart and center of Christianity. It's about trust in God through Christ. It's about living in light of Jesus' forgiving love. He has associated himself with us, so as to change us and to bring us into his grace. This is God's goodness at work.

Joshua 3:1–3, 7–8, 13–17 - Lectionary for Baptism of Our Lord

Many churches throughout the world use a Bible reading schedule called a "lectionary." It's just a fancy word meaning "selected readings." Posts like this reflect on the readings for an upcoming Sunday or other Church holiday, as found in the historic one-year lectionary.

In Joshua chapter three God intends to raise Joshua's profile and standing in Israel. He's going to be the next leader, taking the place of Moses. Joshua has known this for some time, but God exalts him publicly.

As this is the Old Testament reading for the Baptism of Christ, I want to make a few observations that tie the two together.

First, and most obviously, Jesus' name is a variant of Joshua's name. In essence, they bear the same name. Both are being raised up by God to complete the work of Moses. Though some aspects of their work will obviously differ, I'm going to ask my friends who are not as enthusiastic about the continuity between Old and New Testament to bear with me for a while. I know Jesus isn't the new Moses, lawgiver, and that Jesus brings Gospel life, rather than death by Law. Yet in a very real way, it is a continuance. Jesus and Joshua alike are engaged in the work of delivering God's people from their place of bondage into the place of promise and life. 

Where does this happen? It happens at the Jordan River. We are more accustomed to think of the crossing of the Red Sea on dry land when we think of God's people being brought through the water of death safely, but this was just as much a miraculous crossing. The Jordan was at flood stage. It could certainly have hindered the people. In such a mass crossing, some would be swept away and drowned, others would lose many or all of their possessions. God rescues his people, bringing them through water, and out of the desert, a place of death, into the land of promise. 

The significance of the water and the baptism of Jesus should not be missed. As the water of baptism buries us, washes us, and lets us rise to newness of life, Jesus, having been baptised by John in the Jordan leads us in that new life. It's a life according to the promise of God, just as the life Israel has in the promised land.

Is our life in God's promise completely safe? Not in an earthly view. As partakers of God's promise, the people of Israel will still face warfare, conquest, attack by enemies, trials by illness and famine, and all the other trials which are common to humanity. Likewise, those who have been rescued from death into life through baptism into Christ will face trials. Yet in all of this we know that God's power is present to bring us into our true and lasting home.

The presence of God in the ark of the covenant goes before the people of Israel. In this figure, God stands in the midst of his people as they cross into the land of promise. He still leads his people into the promise, through the exalted Jesus, the one who delivers his people from sin and death.

Matthew 3:13-17 - Lectionary for the Baptism of Christ

Many churches throughout the world use a Bible reading schedule called a "lectionary." It's just a fancy word meaning "selected readings." Posts like this reflect on the readings for an upcoming Sunday or other Church holiday, as found in the three-year lectionary.

In this Sunday’s Gospel reading, Matthew 3:13-17, we find Jesus coming to John for baptism. It’s especially important that Jesus submits himself to baptism. In this, he is associating publicly with the rest of humanity. Though John is right and Jesus doesn’t need the washing of baptism, Jesus wishes to tie himself very tightly to humanity.

This act of submission to God is recognized by the presence of the Father and the Spirit. The Trinity is presented to the reader here. God’s voice comes. He acknowledges Jesus as his beloved son.

It is well pleasing to God when God the Son acts to fulfill the Father’s will. We remember that the Father’s will includes the Son coming to give his life as a ransom for sin. Jesus, the one who needs no baptism, associates with us, even taking on the sign of baptism. He later becomes sin on our behalf so that we might be his righteousness.

Romans 6:1-11 - Lectionary for the Baptism of Christ, Series A

Many churches throughout the world use a Bible reading schedule called a "lectionary." It's just a fancy word meaning "selected readings." Posts like this reflect on the readings for an upcoming Sunday or other Church holiday, as found in the three-year lectionary.

Our Epistle reading for this Sunday is Romans 6:1-11. Here the main idea is that we who are in Christ have died to sin. Sin no longer has permission to rule us, because we belong to Christ, who knew no sin. There are several ways we might treat this passage.

Many see in it the idea that baptism is the act of drowning the old man in the death of Christ, raising him to newness of life. It may well, as I believe it does, signify that there is much more than water in baptism, that the gift of life is given according to God’s Word in baptism.  Certainly the idea of death and resurrection is present in baptism. It is also present if we consider it a symbolic passage, suggesting that by repentance we bury our sin and leave it behind. When we are later raised from the dead we will not have any sin remaining.

Regardless of our attempts to handle this text of Scripture, we find the central idea of Christ who died for his people and was raised from the dead. In a like way, we who believe him are dead to sin and alive to Christ. We believe there is a real resurrection.

Does that resurrection begin before our bodies die and await the resurrection of the dead? Yes it does. Christ has risen from the dead. We are therefore partakers of his resurrection even now. We can live to God, just as the risen Lord lives to God. This means we should quite naturally expect to see ourselves living a life of holiness, full of righteous works. We do not do those good works to earn salvation. On the contrary, they are the outcome of salvation.

What if we don’t see the good work naturally or easily? Does this mean that we are not believing Jesus well enough? Not necessarily. Every person struggles with sin in his mortal body. We are in the habit of letting the “old man” live. And he wants to live! What can we do, then? We remember that we are the baptized children of God, that we have been set free from sin, and that we are living to God in Christ.

Isaiah 42:1-9 - Lectionary for the Baptism of Christ

Many churches throughout the world use a Bible reading schedule called a "lectionary." It's just a fancy word meaning "selected readings." Posts like this reflect on the readings for an upcoming Sunday or other Church holiday, as found in the three-year lectionary.

In our Old Testament reading for this coming Sunday, Isaiah 42:1-9, we see what kind of person the “servant of the Lord” is to be. This is no normal earthly servant. This is the one who will bring justice to the whole world.

We are used to the idea of bringing justice by force. After all, our criminal justice system accomplishes its tasks primarily through arrest, verdict, and imprisonment or fines. When we wish someone “brought to justice” we expect some sort of penalty.

God’s justice, as described in Isaiah 42, brings sight to the blind and release to prisoners. It protects fragile things, like a bruised reed or smoking lamp wick. In God’s mercy, he brings justice by rescuing his people.

Where is the penalty? In the end of our passage the penalty falls upon false gods. The true God will not share his glory. He does not give honor to the false gods. They will eventually be removed. After all, they are the very ones who hold God’s people captive.

May the Lord set the prisoners free.

Psalm 29 - Lectionary for The Baptism of Christ

Many churches throughout the world use a Bible reading schedule called a "lectionary." It's just a fancy word meaning "selected readings." Posts like this reflect on the readings for an upcoming Sunday or other Church holiday, as found in the three-year lectionary.

Our Psalm appointed for the Sunday of the Baptism of Christ is Psalm 29. Here God is given glory due to his strength and power. The picture of his power is astounding. He is the one full of power. His voice breaks strong trees. He makes whole nations jump. His voice bursts into flames. He is mightier than a great flood.

What kind of God is this? He is certainly frightening! Yet the result of all this great power is that the Lord is “enthroned over the flood” (v. 10, ESV). This is the mighty God who is able to rule all his creation, no matter how chaotic it seems.

What does God’s rule have to do with his people? Verse 11 gives this blessing. “May the LORD give strength to his people! May the LORD bless his people with peace!” (ESV).

The Bible pictures God as so mighty that he can give his people comfort and security. Even if the world should be flooded or burst into flame, he is able to control it. Even if the nations skip around in an earthquake, God is able to keep his people. What can come against the people of God? Not a thing.

    About Throwing Inkwells

    When Martin Luther was dealing with struggles in his life he once saw what appeared to be an angelic being. Not trusting that he was going to be informed by someone other than the God revealed in Scripture, he took the appearance to be untrustworthy and hurled his inkwell at it. The chipped place in the plaster wall is still visible at the Wartburg Castle, though apparently the ink stain on the wall has been refreshed periodically by the caretaker.
