This Sunday’s Gospel brings us the story of John the Baptist baptizing Jesus—the moment that begins Jesus’ public fulfillment of his divine purpose. But why would Jesus need or choose baptism? In this reflection, Isha Das invites us to look more deeply, reminding us that Gospel stories are not only about Jesus—they are about us. Even in the questions surrounding Jesus’ first steps, we are shown a living model for how to walk a rich, meaningful, and joyful spiritual path. Jesus says, “Follow me.”
