The Baptism of Jesus - An Imaginative Meditation w/Tony
In this episode, we use an imaginative prayer technique to see the baptism of Jesus in the Jordan River by the prophet John. The sacrament of Baptism carries profound depth, meaning, and tradition. As a visible sign of an invisible reality, baptism reflects the postures of repentance and rebirth that are central to the observation of Lent. In this meditation, we will immerse ourselves into the scene from the Gospel of Matthew, Chapter 3, to witness John immerse Jesus in the waters of the Jordan River. We will witness the sky opening to the heavens and hear the voice of God speaking words of truth, affirmation, and witness: "This is my beloved son, with whom I am well pleased." What observation does God have for you in this experience? What affirmation do you need to hear from God as you continue through this time of Lent?
