This scene has always blown my mind. I simply cannot fathom the scene as it unfolds. Can you imagine what it must of been like to be there that day when the heavens opened open and to hear that voice?! I can't possibly imagine what my reaction might have been. I also always marvel at how concise Mark is. All he says is "Jesus was baptized." I have often wondered about the significance of Jesus' bapitsm. Such a great example that even the son of God was baptized. Again the concise nature of Mark, where as other Gospel writers took multiple verses to describe just the baptism of Jesus, Mark describes his baptism and his wilderness temptation in 2 sentences! What an amazing set of scripture! Thats all for tonight.
