I want to talk today about “precious moments.” So often those precious moments are brief, yet powerful moments in our lives. What about “God Experiences”? Do you remember the moment you received Christ as your personal Lord and Savior? What about the day you decided to be baptized? What about all the answers to prayer that you have received? How often we have these monumental God moments and we think to ourselves, “There is no way that I will ever forget this day!” We take all the mental pictures of the moment and put them in our mental photo albums and then were to we place them? On a shelf, only to be remembered when we stumble upon them. The Gospels have recorded for us the “precious moment” of Jesus’ baptism by John the Baptist. Matthew 3:13-17; Mark 1:9-11; Luke 3:21-22; John 1:29-34 And as you study it, there are some amazing revelations that can escape us if we are not careful and I will let you go find those for yourself. Matthew 3:13-17 Here we have this precious moment where God reveals Himself in the Trinity; Father, Son and Holy Spirit. I want you to catch this. Luke 1:39-41 John the Baptist was not a foreigner to the work of the Holy Spirit! John 1:30 John had a Holy Spirit encounter in the womb that was later repeated when Jesus approached. John knew, by the power of the Holy Spirit, that same power that filled John’s mother Elizabeth when Mary greeted her, that Jesus was the Messiah as he exclaimed those words: John 1:29 John’s heart had to have skipped a beat as Jesus approached! As they exchanged words… He saw the Spirit descend like a dove! He heard the voice of God! But sadly, we will later read that John sent his disciples to confirm that Jesus was the Messiah. Did he forget that “precious moment? Have you forgotten “your precious God moment”? Have you forgotten what it felt like when your heart skipped that beat when your spirit saw Jesus approaching you? Do you remember the day when God confirmed His covenant in your heart, that whoever believes in Jesus and receives Him as their Lord and Savior. When is the last time that you pulled that photo album off the shelf? Give your life over to Jesus today.
