Scripture for Life: Jesus' response to his baptism reminds us that the ceremony is but one tiny moment, the meaning of which is determined by how we live it out. Observing him, we realize that baptism does not give us a status but a mission.
Scripture for Life: This liturgy urges us to listen to the seekers who want more than they have found in conventional religion. Emmanuel is still waiting to be discovered in what we might think are the most unlikely places, and by the most unlikely people.
