This homily given by The Rev. Dr. James E. Taylor, Rector of St. George Episcopal Church, calls us to think about our own baptism and its meaning as we celebrate the baptism of Jesus Christ. Several things came together at Jesus’ baptism just as it did at our own. Like Jesus, we are called to persevere in resisting evil; proclaim by word, deed, and example in all that we do in our lives, the good news of God in Christ; seek and serve God in all persons; strive for justice and peace among all people; and respect the dignity of every human.
