Every Epiphany we consider the baptism of Jesus. This year, in "The Politics of the Individual - Mark 1:4-11," Alastair Roberts gives us a good geo-political look at the time Jesus was baptized, and its significance then, and now.
In "The 'Great Wind' of God," Dan Clendenin provides a good exegesis of the term for "breath" or Spirit of God, considering one of the two creation stories in Genesis, the baptism of repentance by water by John the Baptist, and baptism of the "Spirit" which descended on Jesus, and later on a group of Ephesians baptized by Paul in the name of Jesus.
