Jesus doesn't come to do it all on his own. He begins his ministry by bending the knee and asking for help, so that the Holy Spirit might come more fully into view. It's not all up to you. But you have a role to play in the salvation of the world. God is asking and inviting us all to participate.

Matthew 3:13-17

The Baptism of Jesus

13 Then Jesus came from Galilee to the Jordan to be baptized by John. 14 But John tried to deter him, saying, “I need to be baptized by you, and do you come to me?”

15 Jesus replied, “Let it be so now; it is proper for us to do this to fulfill all righteousness.” Then John consented.

16 As soon as Jesus was baptized, he went up out of the water. At that moment heaven was opened, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and alighting on him. 17 And a voice from heaven said, “This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased.”

"Even if I knew that tomorrow the world would go to pieces, I would still plant my apple tree."

Martin Luther
