Once again we looked at the brief creedal statement in 1 Timothy 3-16.----We reflected on Jesus' baptism with water when his Father spoke from heaven and the Holy Spirit baptized him with power -Matthew 3-16-17-.----God's name was never Jesus. Jesus was the name that God took when he became a real human being. It is identical to Joshua.----The baptism of the Lord Jesus was not a case of his being a ventriloquist, as an anti-Trinitarian preacher friend once told me. The baptism of the Lord Jesus illustrates that there are three distinct persons who are God.----Jesus never did a miracle until after his anointing with the Holy Spirit, leaving us an example.----We then considered the third statement, -He was seen of angels- -1 Timothy 3-16-, and we began to think about the role of angels in our lives today.----For a variety of reasons, we are surrounded by angels, and 1 Peter 1-10-12 gives us one of those.----According to Acts 12-6-16, angels are sent to protect us. And the Lord Jesus told us regarding little ones- -Their angels in heaven always see the face of my Father in heaven. -Matthew 18-10-.
