ENCOURAGE DEEPER UNDERSTANDING
OF SCRIPTURE
Think of what it's like to wait a long time. Can you imagine what
it would be like to wait for centuries? No one person lives that
long, of course. But for the Israelites, they had heard the stories
from generation to generation. They had been conquered time
and time again, and now "the people were filled with expectation,
and all were asking in their hearts whether John might be the
Christ." They had been waiting for a Messiah, one who did mi-
raculous deeds and said profound things; someone aglow with
the glory of God. We all know what it's like to hope and be dis-
appointed. But what if your hopes were fulfilled?
That day at the Jordan River, an audience had gathered. Among
the crowd for baptism was an unknown man. Perhaps he was
dirty from weeks in the desert. His hands had the calloused palms
of a tradesman, a carpenter. He and John the Baptist may have
embraced with the familiarity of the cousins they were. This man
wades into the Jordan for a good, solid dunking. As he rises from

and understood. He knows very clearly who he is. Baptism
does the same for us. It gives us our identity as daughters
and sons of God. We have the wonderful opportunity, giv-
en to us as a gift, to share in the same intimate relationship
Jesus has with God his Father. Being a daughter or son of
God gives us a unique and focused mission to which we
must be faithful. Our identity, as with Jesus, is rooted in
God. This is a simple fact we all must accept. Through
Baptism, we are given the power and ability to see the
world as God sees and to think and act as God would think
and act. This is a tall order but one that will lead us to truth
and ultimately to happiness.

CATHOLIC LIFE EXPLAINED
Question:
If Jesus didn't sin, why did he need to be baptized?
Answer:
From the earliest days of St. John the Baptist, baptism has been a sign of repentance and for-
giveness of sins. Now Jesus has instituted it as a sacrament, with real power to cleanse us from
original sin and adopt us as children of God. But if Jesus wasn't affected by original sin, nor did
he willingly choose sin, why would he need to be baptized?
The Catechism lists four primary reasons for the Incarnation. One is that "the Word became
flesh to be our model of holiness" (CCC 459). St. John Paul II wrote that "all of Christ's life was
Infant Baptism: a continual teaching." In other words, many of Jesus' actions were not only for the action itself,
Minimum of three months but to model certain things for us. In becoming man, Jesus is not so loft that he expects things of
notice & pre-baptismal us he isn't willing to do himself. We see this most poignantly in his passion and death. In his
baptism, Jesus identifies with sinners and gives us a model of what we ought to do - repent, be
