the church calendar of readings marks today as the Baptism of Jesus Sunday.  In the season of Epiphany, Jesus' Baptism marks the beginning of His ministry which ultimately takes Him to the cross.  But, His Baptism was not just a "showpiece" for everyone to see.  Neither is our Baptism a simple initiation rite, or our declaration of faithfulness to God.  God does marvelous and unimaginable through Baptism which results in our forgiveness of sins and eternal life through the death of Christ.  find out what your Baptism is all about.
