The Dove came down and sat upon Jesus. Note this for tomorrow's reading. The dove is a sign of the spirit and of peace. It now rests on Jesus the one who will save us from destruction and lead us into a new life.
The other thing I note in this chapter is that John the Baptist in his command to those who repented. He told those who had to share not give it all away. He told publicans, tax collectors, not to quit their job but not to overcharge. And he told soldiers basically don't abuse your authority and be content. Many would have been tempted to tell the
m so rich to give it all away, or the publican to quit working for the Romans, or the soldier to quit being a soldier but John doesn't do that he deals with the heart of people's disobedience not with the problems people may have with others status or job description. Consider it.
