What was your vow and vision, revealed and recognized, Christ, when you came to Jordan and asked to be baptized? Was there a sudden splendor of prophets, priests and kings, a wind that stirred the waters, a blur of mighty wings? Was this God's call, the crowning of all you had become: "Go, show and tell my coming, my own, my chosen one"? Did scripture join with scripture, revealing in surprise the triumph of a servant rejected and despised? We meet you at the water and ponder why and how, in hope that we may follow where God is going now, anointed by your Spirit, reborn, and energized, through deed and word proclaiming: "In Christ we are baptized!"
