It was time. It was time for Jesus to step forward and to be anointed for the work that God sent him to do. That’s what happened at Jesus’ baptism and it was time. It was time for him to take up the cause and the cross. It wouldn’t be easy, but it would mean salvation. He was called to this and his Father would support him along the way.

It is time for us too. It’s time for us to step forward and step into the roles for which God fit us when we were baptized and to which God calls us by the gospel. God has called us to step forward to take up God’s cause of saving souls. We too were called to this and our Father will support us along the way.
