The Feast of the Baptism of Our Lord - Celebrate with Iglesia Cristiana Getsemani

Welcome to Iglesia Cristiana Getsemani, where we invite you to join us in commemorating the Feast of the Baptism of Our Lord. On this special occasion, we come together to honor and reflect upon the baptism of Jesus Christ, an integral part of our faith and beliefs.

What Is the Feast of the Baptism of Our Lord?

The Feast of the Baptism of Our Lord is an annual event celebrated within the Christian community to mark the baptism of Jesus in the Jordan River by John the Baptist. According to the Gospels, Jesus' baptism is seen as the start of his public ministry and a significant moment in his life.

It is during his baptism that the Holy Spirit descended upon Jesus like a dove, and the voice of God the Father proclaimed, "This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased." This divine affirmation signifies Jesus' identity as the Son of God and serves as a pivotal moment in our understanding of his life and mission on earth.

Epiphanytide - A Season of Revelation

The Feast of the Baptism of Our Lord falls within the liturgical season of Epiphanytide, which is a time of revelation and manifestation. Epiphanytide spans from January 6th, the Feast of the Epiphany, to the beginning of Lent.

During Epiphanytide, we celebrate the revelation of Jesus Christ as the Savior not only to the Jewish community but also to all nations, represented by the visit of the Magi. The Feast of the Baptism of Our Lord serves as a culmination of this season, highlighting the revelation of Jesus' true identity through his baptism.

Why Celebrate the Feast of the Baptism of Our Lord?

As members of the Christian community, we commemorate the Feast of the Baptism of Our Lord for several reasons:

• Deepening Our Faith: By reflecting on Jesus' baptism, we gain a deeper understanding of our own baptism and its significance in our lives as followers of Christ.
• Marking a Turning Point: Jesus' baptism marked the beginning of his public ministry. It serves as a reminder for us to recommit ourselves to our own calling in serving God and others.
• Recognizing Jesus' Humility: Jesus, being sinless, humbled himself by participating in a baptism of repentance. His act demonstrates his love, humility, and solidarity with humanity.
• Affirming Our Identity: Just as God proclaimed Jesus as his beloved Son, our own baptism affirms our identity as children of God and heirs to his eternal kingdom.
