To me Baptism is a Sacrament from Death to Life in the Flesh, through the Wondrous Mystery of Baptism.
He would have remained on the cross, in the New Eve unable through Death and Resurection to become again, glorified and transfigured.
Logically we can see the Co-Redemptive Power of Creation through the First Christ and the First person on earth in the Mind of God and the Will of the Father when Mary says, “Let not me will but Your Will be done.”
From the OMNIlogical God what Bapism does is allow the soul from the spirit for the felsh to become again, logically. This is Why we See the Baptism of the Christ in The Jordan River, “Behold My Son in whom I Am well pleased,” now Baptized in the New Eve, Immortal immaculate flesh from Mary and the Incorruptible Holy Spirit Will of The Father and The Holy Family from Her Soul and be able to through Death and Resurection become again, glorified and transfigured, back from where He Came, glorified and transfigured. Jesus is in the Christ and the “Firstborn Christ of all Creation” opening the Gate, from where the blood and water did flow from the cross, for all, becoming again into the One Holy Spirit Family and The One God in Being.
Hi Shiwen, I have not read through everyone’s responses yet, but I want to say that I am happy that our Lord has touched your life in such an encounter. Though what you describe is not Baptism, it could be a first encounter with our Jesus.
When the three Magi encountered Jesus in the manger, Scripture says they left a different way. On a spiritual sense, we could interpret this as meaning that they left changed. And though they were not formally Baptized (for it was before Jesus’ ministry began), we can imagine that their lives were different (better) having encountered Christ.
If you would like to learn more about the Sign of the Cross specifically, author Bert Ghezzi wrote a book titled, “The Sign of the Cross.”
When we make the sign of the Cross with holy water, we are reminded of our Baptismal promises and our Covenantal relationship with Christ Jesus, our Savior.
Not sure if this is helpful, but I am glad that you are here : )
Even Christ, The Holy Spirit Family in the flesh of Jesus in the New Eve becoming the New Adam had to be Baptized from death and resurrection to become again glorified and transfigured in One Holy Family One God in being.
And Jesus Baptized His Mother for Her Glorious Assumption, Queen of Heaven becoming again in One Holy Spirit Family One God in being.
Jesus would have remained on the Cross never dying and remain immortal never dying of teh flesh and remain only in Immortal flesh and sanctified Holy Spirit and not able to become again from the Living Waters of Baptism from death of the old flesh for resurrection life from the spirit through the souls of all for the flesh to become again, to become again glorified and transfigured in the New Body, One Holy Spirit Family One God in being.
Logically Souls in Heaven become greater than that of earthy Greatness.
“yet whoever is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he”: This is a key point, highlighting the paradox that spiritual greatness in the Kingdom of Heaven surpasses even the earthly greatness of John.
Meaning:
John’s Greatness: John the Baptist was the last of the prophets, fulfilling prophecies like Malachi 3:1, and his role as a forerunner to Jesus is significant.
Kingdom of Heaven’s Greatness: Those who are part of the Kingdom of Heaven, through faith in Christ, possess a greater spiritual reality and position than even John, who stood in his own righteousness.
