TRINITY OF THE GODHEAD REVEALED IN THE BAPTISM OF CHRIST

Text:  Luke 3:21-22 

WEDNESDAY MAY 17th 

Key Verse: Matthew 3:16-17 And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him and was the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him:
In the baptism of Jesus Christ, we see the Trinity of the Godhead clearly revealed. There is something to learn from the above verses, the Father was in heaven and the Holy Ghost descended in the shape of a dove from heaven and miraculously rested on Jesus. Note the following: Jesus was in human shape; Holy Ghost was in dove shape. The Father was in His power in Heaven. Can we say the Holy Spirit is a dove? No. He is God! What about Jesus that took the body of a man? Was Jesus a man? Who is He? He is God! God can take any shape He desires to fulfill a purpose that is in His heart. So, even though Jesus took the shape of a man, He was actually God. Jesus assumed the dual personality of God-man. It is a unique miracle! As man, He was lower than God the Father, but as God, He was equal with the Father. 
John 14:28 Ye have heard how I said unto you, I go away, and come again unto you. If ye loved Me, ye would rejoice, because I said, I go unto the Father: for My, Father is greater than I. 
In the above Scripture, Jesus showed that the Father was greater than Him because He had taken the form of a servant (a man). As a man, Jesus became a messenger. As a Son, He was doing the will of His Father. For this reason, His Father was greater than Him, not in His form as God but in His form as a man on earth. It is in this regard that Jesus said in the following verse, “I came from My Father and I am going to My Father.” John 16:28 I came forth from the Father, and Am come into the world: again, I leave the world, and go to the Father. Jesus was saying in essence, “I left My Father to come into the world and took on human form, but now I am going back to My Father.” This again shows clearly that Jesus is different from the Father.

Thought for the day: Jesus assumed the dual personality of God-man. 

Song for the day: Everlasting Father, Everlasting Son, Immortal Holy Spirit…

Bible reading for the day: 2 Kings 18-19; John 6:22-44

For taking your time to study remain blessed. August Tuesday 27th TOPIC: CORRECT WATER BAPTISM TEXT: Mark 16:15-16 KEY VERSE: Matthew 28:19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. The believer requires water baptism. The baptism that Jesus commanded is in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. It is done by immersion in water because the three Persons are One. In Acts of the Apostles, the people were baptizing in the name of Jesus. They used the phrase “in the name of Jesus” to indicate that the baptism was carried out as authorized by Jesus, and the baptism authorized by Jesus is that which is done in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. It is not to say that they dip people in water and say, “I baptize you in the name of Jesus.” The name of Jesus cannot represent the Godhead. The Father is not Jesus, the Holy Spirit is not Jesus, Jesus is God who be
