"respondió Juan a todos, diciendo: «Yo os bautizo con agua; pero viene el que es más fuerte que yo, y no soy digno de desatarle la correa de sus sandalias. Él

os bautizará en Espíritu Santo y fuego»." (Lucas 3:16)

El Catecismo de la Iglesia Católica afirma que "la inmersión de Jesús en el agua es una señal para todos los seres humanos de la necesidad de morir para hacer la voluntad de Dios". En otras palabras, como católicos bautizados solo hay un regalo que debemos dar a Jesús - el don de nosotros mismos. Ríndete a Dios, deposita tu confianza en Él y permite que el Espíritu Santo trabaje a través de ti para la mayor gloria de Dios.

The Baptism of the Lord -Lk 3:15-16, 21-22 John the Baptist was preaching in the wilderness and was baptizing all those who would respond to his message of repentance. The purpose of his ministry of preaching and Baptism was to direct people toward Jesus who would baptize them with the Holy Spirit. The Scriptures tell us that Jesus came from Galilee to River Jordan to be baptized by John the Baptist. Jesus subjects himself to this simple act

of repentance and is baptized by his own cousin. Baptism is meant as an acknowledgement of sin and Jesus was totally sinless. He had no need of repentance or forgiveness. When Jesus came out of water after his Baptism the heavens open and the Holy Spirit descends upon Him in the form of a dove. There is also the voice of the Father that comes from the cloud “This is my Son, the Beloved, with whom I am well pleased.” The baptism of Jesus at the hands of John the Baptist is recounted in some detail in Matthew told more briefly in Mark mentioned in detail in Luke and unrecorded though probably presumed in John. In all four accounts the anointing of Jesus with the Spirit and the declaration of his sonship are directly linked to the baptism. Mark and Luke tell us only that Jesus was baptized in the Jordan by John but Matthew adds that John the Baptist was hesitant and felt unworthy. Jesus however urges compliance with the call of God to “fulfil all righteousness.” Mark suggests that Jesus was baptized during the ministry of John to all the people while the structure of the text in Luke indicates that the baptism of Jesus by John was the culmination of John’s ministry meaning that “after all the people had been baptized then Jesus also was baptized. The Fourth Evangelist says only that John saw Jesus coming to him and then there follow certain Christological declarations by John. The fundamental feature of all the narratives is that on the occasion of his baptism Jesus is anointed with the Spirit and thus inaugurating the ministry of Jesus.

“John answered them all, ‘I baptize you with water; but he who is mightier than I is coming…he will baptize you with

the Holy Spirit... ’” (Luke 3:16)

The Catholic Catechism states that “Jesus’ immersion in the water is a sign for all human beings of the need to die to themselves to do God’s will.” In other words, as baptized Catholics there is only one gift that we need to give to Jesus – the gift of ourselves. Surrender yourself to God, place your trust in Him and allow the Holy Spirit to work through you for the greater glory of God.
