Marriage is an image of Christ and His church.
He washes us with the Holy Spirit.
The events of the day reveal Jesus as the Christ, Savior of all nations.
His glory is found in the cross.
It doesn't look good.
The Lord comes to extends the celebration.
In Baptism Christ stand in your place and in Baptism you stand with Christ in His.
The Spirit leads us to where Christ is graciously present for us.
First the cross then the glory. Christ's glory is found in His cross.
Christ was anointed at His baptism so that we might be anointed with the Spirit at ours.
