January 13, 2019 The Baptism of Our Lord
Have
you ever thought about how powerful fear and worry are in our lives? Fear takes
hold. It ties us in knots and refuses to let us go. On our own, we’re powerless
to undo these “fear knots.” Only Jesus has the power to release us from their
captivity. “Fear not,” He says to His redeemed people! “You are Mine,” He
refreshingly reminds us. Our worship on this Baptism of Our Lord Sunday brings
us with Jesus to the baptismal waters, enabling us to hear the living voice of
our God as He washes us clean and makes us His own. Fear may take its hold for
a moment, but Jesus’ hold is eternal. “Fear knots” may have their day; “Fear
not” are saving words forever!
Isaiah 43:1-7 Romans 6:1-11 st Luke 3:15-22
