Up north in his hometown of Nazareth he must have heard about John. At some point an inner voice must have said, “Go south, go to the desert. Go listen to this preacher John.” When he came to the desert, he may have stood in a long line before that moment came when he entered the water and John baptized him. Mark gives us only the briefest account of their meeting, but does present John as expecting someone mightier than he who would baptize with the Holy Spirit. It is this same Holy Spirit who came down on Jesus as he was coming out of the water. At that moment, the heavens were torn open, heaven reached down to touch the Galilean, and the Spirit descended like a dove. Have you ever seen a gull descend to snatch a fish or a hawk swoop down to seize its prey? By contrast, the image of a descending dove is one of beauty and grace, of gentle alighting. The words do not announce Jesus to others, as in Matthew’s account, but they are spoken only to him: “You are my beloved Son; with you I am well pleased” (1:11), echoing the words the Lord speaks in the first song of the Servant in the book of Isaiah. The descent of the dove did not mean an easy life for Jesus, but God had penetrated his being in a way that would then drive him into the desert to begin his mission of confronting the powers of sin and death. This gentle dove came—and continues to come—with a mighty power. 1 Reflexionemos sobre la Palabra de Dios Éste es uno de los momentos clave en la vida de Jesús. En su propia ciudad de Nazaret, ubicada al norte, él debió haber oído hablar de Juan. En algún momento debió haber escuchado una voz interior que le decía: “Dirígete hacia el sur, ve al desierto. Ve a escuchar a este predicador Juan”. Cuando llegó al desierto es probable que haya estado esperando en una larga fila antes de que llegara el momento de entrar en el agua y que Juan lo bautizara. Marcos nos hace sólo un recuento brevísimo de tal encuentro, pero nos describe a Juan como esperando a alguien más poderoso que él, que bautizará con el Espíritu Santo. Es este mismo Espíritu Santo que descendió sobre Jesús en cuanto salió del agua. En ese momento se abrieron los cielos, el cielo bajó a tocar al galileo y el Espíritu bajó sobre él como una paloma. ¿Has visto alguna vez una gaviota descender para arrebatar un pez o a un halcón precipitarse de picada para agarrar su presa? En contraste, una paloma que desciende es una imagen de belleza y gracia, y de posarse suavemente. Las palabras de hoy no anuncian a Cristo a los demás, como sucede en la versión de Mateo, sino que se enuncian sólo para Jesús: “Tú eres mi Hijo amado, en ti me complazco” (1:11), haciendo eco de las palabras que el Señor dice en el primer cántico del Siervo en el libro de Isaías. El descenso de la paloma no quiso significar una vida fácil para Jesús, sino más bien que Dios había penetrado el ser de Jesús de tal manera que lo llevaría hasta el desierto para comenzar su misión de confrontar los poderes del pecado y de la muerte. Esta gentil paloma vino —y continúa viniendo— con intenso poder. 2014 Tax Statements In order to save on the cost of unnecessary mailing please contact Precious Chikulo at ext. 227, if you would like to receive a 2013 tax statement.
