Pastor John,<\/span><\/p>\n

I read this: “And after he was baptized, Jesus came up immediately from the water, and behold, the heavens were opened to him, and he saw the Spirit of God, in the form of a dove, descending and coming upon him.\u00a0 And behold, a voice\u00a0came<\/em>\u00a0from the heavens, saying, ‘This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.\u2019\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

I have been thinking about that day, and God speaking on that day, for about a week or so now, just imagining God and what He sounded like.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I was thinking about different experiences some have told of receiving the holy ghost and how Jesus, Mary’s son, must have felt, and I was wondering if he heard God’s voice in that moment, and what it sounded like to him.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I guess I was just daydreaming about that, and I had the thought that God was introducing His beloved Son that day.\u00a0 I don’t know if that is the right way to see it, but it sure feels sweet to think of Him introducing His beloved Son every time one of His children get the holy Ghost.<\/span><\/p>\n

Hi Beth.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

One thing we know for sure: God’s voice, the voice of the Spirit, is heard every time a person is born again, as Jesus was born again the day the voice came.\u00a0 I suppose we could say that with His voice, God introduces to the world every new-born son of His the day they receive the Spirit.\u00a0 But as the hidden Son once asked the Father in heaven: “Who has believed our report?\u201d<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Thank God that He has given us the grace to believe their report: the “stammering lips and other tongues” that always accompanies the real baptism of the holy Ghost!<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n
