Baptism Of The Lord January 10, 2021 4
The Baptism of the Lord
FRIEND OR FOE?
Water is a rich and potent symbol. We all know that no life on earth would be possible with-out it. We use it for our sustenance, our cleansing, our relaxation; it touches nearly every facet of hu-man life, and its absence is soon noted. Without it, the grain, wine, milk, and other “rich fare” from Isaiah would not be possible. The messianic age is characterized as a time of abundance and fertility, not attainable without water. It was a precious commodity in Jesus’ world. Water has its dark, dangerous side as well—the chaos of the dawn of creation was symbolized by water, the earth was destroyed (and still knows destruction) by the wa-ters of the flood. Israel risked it all in the waters of the Red Sea as they fled Egypt and entered the desert. In similar fashion, today Jesus risks it all in his calling as Son of God and, like the Israel whose son he also was, he will enter the desert in the next few verses of Mark’s Gospel.
THICKER THAN WATER Another powerful life symbol is blood. Like water, it is essential. John’s letter today tells us that three things testify to Jesus as the Son of God: water, blood, and the Spirit. Today’s feast forms a hinge of sorts between the two great “water and blood” moments in the life of Jesus. It is the culmination of the season of the Nativity, the time when we remember and celebrate that Jesus came into the world as a fully human being, in water and blood. It is also the day on which he begins his public ministry of calling Israel to re-pentance by proclaiming the reign of God, a min-istry that will ultimately end in water and blood as he is crucified. But hovering over all of this is the Holy Spirit. It is by the Spirit that Jesus was con-ceived in the womb of Mary; it is the Spirit who guides his entire ministry from Jordan to Calvary; and it will be the Spirit who brings his resurrected life back to the world, who continues it to this very day in the waters of baptism and the blood of disciples, by which his Body, the Church, is still proclaiming the reign of God to the world.
El Bautismo del Señor
¿AMIGO O ENEMIGO?
El agua es un símbolo rico y potente. Todos sabemos que no puede haber vida en la tierra sin ella. La usamos para nuestro sustento, nuestro aseo, nuestra relajación; toca prácticamente cada faceta de la vida humana, y su ausencia se nota muy pronto. Sin ella no habría grano, ni vino, ni leche, ni otros “ricos manjares” mencionados en Isaías. La era me-siánica es caracterizada como un tiempo de abun-dancia y fertilidad, inalcanzable sin el agua. Y era un lujo en tiempos de Jesús. El agua tiene también su lado oscuro y peligroso —simbolizó el caos del principio de la creación, la tierra fue destruida (y todavía sufre destrucción) por las aguas del diluvio. Israel lo arriesgó todo en las aguas del mar Rojo cu-ando huyó de Egipto y se adentró en el desierto. De modo similar, hoy Jesús arriesga todo en su llamado como Hijo de Dios y, como el Israel del que él también es hijo, entrará en el desierto en los próxi-mos versículos del Evangelio de Marcos.
MÁS ESPESA QUE EL AGUA Otro poderoso símbolo de vida es la sangre. Al igual que el agua, es esencial. La carta de Juan hoy nos dice que tres cosas dan testimonio de Jesús como Hijo de Dios: agua, sangre y el Espíritu. La fiesta de hoy conecta los dos grandes momentos de “agua y sangre” en la vida de Jesús. Es la culmi-nación de la estación de Navidad, cuando re-cordamos y celebramos que Jesús vino al mundo como un ser completamente humano, en agua y en sangre. Es también el día en que comienza su minis-terio público invitando a Israel a la conversión, proclamando el Reino de Dios, un ministerio que culminará en agua y sangre al ser él crucificado. Pero revoloteando encima de todo esto está el Es-píritu Santo. Por el Espíritu Jesús fue concebido en el vientre de María, fue el Espíritu quien guió todo su ministerio desde el Jordán hasta el Calvario, y será el Espíritu quien traerá su vida resucitada al mundo, en donde continúa viviendo hasta el presente en las aguas del bautismo y la sangre de discípulos, mediante ellos, su Cuerpo, la Iglesia está aún proclamando al mundo el Reino de Dios.
