Scripture

​The Baptism of Jesus

In the story of Jesus' baptism, God calls Jesus his 'beloved Son.' Through this story, we learn that Jesus is true God and true man.

The Incarnation is the mystery of the Son of God becoming man in Jesus Christ.​

Multiple Choice

True or False: Jesus is both human and divine.

• True

• False

​Jesus is both human and divine.

In his divinity, he is the Son of God.

In his humanity, he is like us in every way except sin.

Jesus' name means, "God saves"!​​

​

​

Why did Jesus need to be baptized then? ​

​We are baptized into the Body of Christ!

Jesus gave us the Sacrament of Baptism to free us from sin and to make us children of God. Baptism is necessary for our Salvation. Through Baptism, we are welcomed into the Church and freed from Original Sin and all personal sins.

Closing Prayer/Reflection

​'Christ Has No Body' by St. Teresa of Avila

​Christ has no body now but yours

No hands, no feet on earth but yours

Yours are the eyes through which He looks

Compassion on this world

Yours are the feet with which He walks to do good

Yours are the hands with which He blesses all the world

Yours are the hands

Yours are the feet

Yours are the eyes

You are His body

Christ has no body now on earth but yours
