COFFEE
Those so receive the baptism of
Christ need not seek the baptism of John. Those who received the baptism of John did
indeed seek the baptism of
Christ….No baptism was necessary for Christ, but he freely received the baptism of a servant
(John) to draw us towards his
baptism.
St Augustine of Hippo (354-430)
Reader 1
Reader 2
Welcomers Noelle Forte-Passey

John, who baptized, stood by,
and behold, the Holy Spirit descended, but “as a dove.” Descended for what reason? Not
that the Lord Jesus himself
might seem to be in need of the
mystery of sanctification, but
that he himself might sanctify,
that the Spirit also might sanctify.
