[Grem] Gospel meditation

[Emoke Greschik]

 Friends, today’s Gospel tells *the story of the baptism of Jesus.* The
first thing we must keep in mind about *the baptism of Jesus was *that it
was *embarrassing*. *Here is *the one that the first Christians maintained
was * the Son of God, the sinless lamb who takes away the sins of the world*
, * the Word made flesh. So why is he seeking a baptism of repentance?*
There is no way around it: *John was working in the country north of
Jerusalem, along the banks of the Jordan River. And his theme was
unambiguous: repent. Those who came to him were coming to have their sins
dealt with; they were admitting their guilt.*
As is usually the case with the Bible, there is an irony in the fire.
Before ever a word passes Jesus’ lips, he is teaching, in fact
communicating the heart of the faith, by this stunning reversal. *In this
gesture, God lays aside his glory and humbly joins us in our sinfulness,
standing with us, assuming our burden.*

*Imádkozzál érettünk, Istennek szent Anyja!  Hogy méltók lehessünk Krisztus
ígéreteire!  Könyörögjünk! Kérünk téged, Úristen, öntsd lelkünkbe szent
kegyelmedet, hogy akik az angyali üzenet által szent Fiadnak, Jézus
Krisztusnak megtestesülését megismertük, az ő kínszenvedése és keresztje
által a föltámadás dicsőségébe vitessünk! Krisztus, a mi Urunk által. Ámen.*
