COME UP...

"When He had been baptized, Jesus came up immediately from the water; and behold, the heavens were opened to Him, and He saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and alighting upon Him."  Matthew 3:16 (NKJV)

Isn't it interesting to note here that after Jesus was baptized by John, he CAME UP.  There was an immediate and positive change in his altitude, position and spiritual location.  The fact that the heavens opened up to him is further proof of what we can expect everytime we submit fully (immerse ourselves) in the plans of God which most often require death, sacrifice, and always complete surrender.  The providence and height of all that God has at at his disposal is opened up and available to each of us just at it was for Jesus.  We have to go down before we can ever hope to come up and achieve all that we desire in life and truly see all of what God has planned for each of us. 


Merry Christmas Everyone!
