Today, the image of an opened sky stands out: with Jesus the sky is open. His communion with the Father’s will (fulfilling the righteousness), opens the sky because it is right there where, in essence, God’s will is accomplished.

This is compounded by the proclamation of God, the Father, of Christ’s mission; meaning not a do, but his being: He is the beloved Son on which rests the blessing of God. Finally, here we find, together with the Son, also the Father and the Holy Spirit: it foretells the mystery of the Triune God, which logically will also be revealed in depth during Jesus’ entire path.

-The Baptism of Jesus Christ is linked with His apostolic mandate to go to all people and baptize in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit (Mt 28:19) The baptism practiced by the disciples is the entry into the Baptism of Jesus: This is how one becomes Christian!
