Mark 1:11 "And a voice came from heaven: 'You are my Son, whom I love; with you I am well pleased.'"
Jesus has been obedient and gets baptized by John. A voice from heaven, God the Father, says he is well pleased with him.
Every son wants to please his dad. Jack gets such a huge smile on his face when he knows he did something right and made me proud. He's learning to ride his bike now and he is doing a great job! When he's riding, he knows I am excited for him, proud of him, and glad he is my son. I would be even if he wasn't riding, but in that moment, on his bike, I have a hunch that's all he cares about. He's scared to death of falling off his bike, but he knows it makes his dad proud. I want the same for my heavenly father. I hope that God the Father is pleased with me.
Dear Jesus, help me be more like Jack. Amen.
