<p><em><strong>SCRIPTURE READING</strong></em></p>
<p><em><strong> LUKE 3:21-22 </strong></em></p>
<p><em><strong> &#8221; Now it came to pass, when all the people were baptized, that, Jesus also having been baptized, and praying, the heaven was opened,* *and the Holy Spirit descended in a bodily form, as a dove, upon Him, and a Voice came out of heaven, Thou are My beloved Son; in Thee I am well pleased&#8221;. </strong></em></p>
<p><strong> THE MESSAGE</strong></p>
<p>ðµGod the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit (The Trinity)are interconnected, interrelated, and interdependent.</p>
<p>ð£Hence, the Triune God&#8217;s involvement in Baptism. &#8220;Jesus having been baptized, and praying, the heaven was opened, and the Holy Spirit descended in a bodily form, as a dove, upon Him, and a Voice came out of heaven, Thou are My beloved Son; in Thee I am well pleased&#8221;.</p>
<p>ðµOne of the most important things to think and meditate about is when the verse says, &#8220;a Voice came out of heaven, Thou are My beloved Son; in Thee I am well pleased.&#8221;</p>
<p>ð£This is the most important part of the event because it has confirmed the deity of the beloved Son of God. It confirms that Jesus is the beloved Son of God, and He is the only begotten Son of God.</p>
<p>ðµWithin the Trinity of God, how can we understand the concept of the Holy Spirit proceeding? In John 15:26 the Bible says, &#8220;But when the Helper comes, whom I will send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth, who proceeds from the Father, He will bear witness about Me(Jesus)&#8221;.</p>
<p>ð£The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of the Father, but the beloved Son of God is one with the Father, so the Holy Spirit becomes the Spirit of both as well.</p>
<p>ðµBut from the beginning, the Holy Spirit is from the Father since the Son was within the Father. When talking about the Holy Spirit proceeding, we should think of proceeding from the Father and the Son because the Father and the begotten Son are two in one.</p>
<p>ð£That is why the Holy Spirit proceeds from the Father and the Son. The proceeding here has two stages.</p>
<p>ð¶The Son of God has been since the beginning as well, but what we say here refers to the period after the Son&#8217;s resurrection.</p>
<p>ð·When the beloved Son of God took human form, He was almost at the point of being cut off from the Father, but the beloved Son of God also was in two states at the same time, He is still with the Father and also He is here on earth as human as well.</p>
<p>ð¶Because the human form itself is sinful, that is why we say the Son of God was almost at the point of being cut off from the Father.</p>
<p>ðµThe Bible says that the Father loves His beloved Son because He is willing to take the human form. Before the beloved Son of God came to earth, the Father and the Son are One as One unit together.</p>
<p>ð£But when the beloved Son of God is resurrected, He has given back the state that was almost apart from the Father and has reunited to be complete one again with the Father.</p>
<p>ðµThis state we talk about is breathing as human, He has given up the need of breathing. His human body and heavenly body are united together and are seated with the Father in heaven as one.</p>
<p>ð£From this chapter, we can highlight four main life and faith application points.</p>
<p>1) We need to follow the example of our Lord Jesus and baptize ourselves in water for remission of sins in the name of the Father, the Son Jesus, and the Holy Spirit.</p>
<p>2) As a true Christian, we must believe in the Trinity of God, Three in One: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.</p>
<p>3) The Lord Jesus worked with His hands as taught by His earthly caretaker until His prime age when He began to teach. We should work for our living and be content with what the Lord provides through our job.</p>
<p>4) In our jobs we should do only according to the duty required.</p>
<p>May God give us the grace to do. Amen!</p>
