The Baptism of the Lord Well Pleased The first reading from Isaiah is a pretty good de-scription of Jesus. It begins by describing the serv-ant "with whom I am well pleased" (Isaiah 42:1). These are the words of the voice from the heav-ens that was heard at Jesus' baptism. The most significant difference is that the voice calls Jesus "beloved Son," not just servant. And Isaiah gives us more hints about who Jesus is. The verses that say that he will not break the bruised reed or quench the smoldering wick (Isaiah 42:3) are descriptive of Jesus' mercy to-ward sinners. The reed and the wick were dis-posed of because they were useless. But God, out of love for us, never sees sinners as useless. God is always ready to forgive them and give them an-other chance, so God sent Jesus to forgive sin-ners, not reject them. In the Gospel, John at first refuses to baptize Jesus, because John's baptism was a sign of repentance for sin. He knew Jesus was not a sinner, so he had no need to repent. But Jesus identified himself with sinners and wel-comed them back to God's love. We can ask God to help us see our sinfulness and bring it to God for healing. Isaiah also says that the servant is a "covenant of the people." A covenant was an agreement be-tween unequal partners, in which the stronger one agreed to protect or defend the weaker one, while the weaker agreed to pay taxes or obey laws required by the stronger. God is offering a new covenant through Jesus, not just for the Jews, but for all peoples. In this covenant, God has for-given our sins before we were even born, much less committed any sins. But we still have to live that covenant, by loving God and our neighbor. When we teach others about God's love and mer-cy, "we open the eyes of the blind", as Isaiah says. When we forgive each other, we are setting free prisoners of sin. When people see God's love act-ed out in our lives, we are a light to the world. As we learn to do these things, we will find that God is also well pleased with us. Tom Schmidt, Copyright (c) J. S. Paluch Co.
