Tag in Jesus

Jan 12, 2025    Pastor Travis Voeltz

In this powerful message, we're reminded of the profound significance of Jesus' baptism and its implications for our own spiritual journey. The central scripture focuses on John the Baptist preparing the way for Christ, emphasizing the stark difference between John's baptism with water and Jesus' baptism with the Holy Spirit and fire. This pivotal moment in biblical history reveals Jesus' willingness to identify with sinners, despite His own perfection. As we reflect on this, we're challenged to consider our own attempts to 'earn' our way to God, and the futility of such efforts. The imagery of wheat and chaff serves as a poignant reminder of the ultimate judgment we all face. Yet, in this sobering reality, we find hope in Jesus' role as our perfect replacement, standing in our place and accompanying us through life's challenges. This message calls us to 'tag in Jesus,' recognizing our need for His grace and presence in every aspect of our lives.
