God Quote-The Father’s Approval

JOHN SHIRK – In the Year of God’s Word, this is what the LORD says in Luke 3:22.

At the Baptism of Jesus, the Holy Spirit descended on him in bodily form like a dove. And a voice came from heaven: “You are my Son, whom I love; with you I am well pleased.”

The baptism of Jesus was an event that launched His earthly ministry with His Father’s approval.

This would have given Jesus much joy to hear the Father’s voice, because His focus was doing and completing the work of the Father. He said in John 8:29, “The one who sent me is with me; he has not left me alone, for I always do what pleases him.”

This is a noble aim for our lives-to please God in whatever we do. Great joy awaits those who are faithful to the Gospel. The voice of the Master will say, “Well done, good and faithful servant. You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master’s happiness.”

Luke 3:22-that’s today’s God Quote for us to embrace for Life.
