The Baptism of the Lord

Mark 1:7-11


*Friends, on this feast of the Baptism of the Lord, let us meditate on John
the Baptist. Young John, the son of the priest Zechariah, grew up in and
around the Temple, acquainted with its rituals. And he sensed that the true
Messiah was on the horizon. And so he went away from the old Temple, but he
continued to act as a priest of a new Temple. He was baptizing people. Why
this ritual? Well, in the Jerusalem Temple, a pilgrim would cleanse himself
in a mikvah, a ritual bath, before he entered to make sacrifice. John was
acting as a priest, and the River Jordan was his mikvah. But *what—or,
better,

* who—was the new Temple? Jesus who came from Nazareth of Galilee and was
baptized by John. The heavens were torn open and the Spirit, like a dove,
descended on him. This is Temple talk. When the high priest entered into
the holy of holies, he was entering into the heavenly realm. The holy of
holies was the place where the "heavens were torn open" and a humble human
being could enter. So the point is that Jesus is himself the new holy of
holies.*
