Pre-Workshop Reflection
And when Jesus had been baptized, just as he came up from the water, suddenly the heavens were opened to him and he saw God’s Spirit descending like a dove and alighting on him. And a voice from the heavens said, “This is my Son, the Beloved, with whom I am well pleased.” - Matthew 3:16-17
-
How does God reveal himself in this passage?
-
How does the Father feel about his Son?
-
What has God made you through your baptism?
-
What does it mean for you to be brought up into the life of the holy Trinity?
As you facilitate Workshop 7's discussion, ponder the wonder of the love within the Trinity and being brought into that love.
