Lesson 9

He Is My Beloved Son

  • He is my beloved son, in whom I am well pleased.

    Jesus lived in Nazareth with Mary,His mother and Joseph His foster-father. When Jesus was thirty years old, prophet John the Baptist came up, preaching the message of conversion and giving the baptism of water for forgiveness of sins.

    He wore a garment made of camel's hair with a leather belt round his waist and his food was locusts and wild honey.
    He gave the baptism of repentance at river Jordan.
     
     

     

    One day Jesus came from Nazareth to Jordan and received baptism from John the Baptist. When Jesus came out
    of water, the Holy Spirit came down upon Him from heaven in the form of a dove. Then came a voice from heaven:
    “ This is my son, the Beloved, with whom I am well pleased”(Matthew 3:17). Thus, God the Father revealed that Jesus is His beloved son.
     

     

     

     

    The Church celebrates the Feast of Epiphany (Danha) on 6th January in commemoration of the Baptism of Jesus.
     
    We become God's children through baptism. Hence, we have to live like children of God.

    Highest praise to you I sing.
