Jn 1:29-34
John the Baptist saw Jesus coming toward him and said,Source: USCCB
“Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world.
He is the one of whom I said, ‘A man is coming after me who ranks ahead of me because he existed before me.’ I did not know him, but the reason why I came baptizing with water was that he might be made known to Israel.”
John testified further, saying, “I saw the Spirit come down like a dove from heaven and remain upon him. I did not know him, but the one who sent me to baptize with water told me, ‘On whomever you see the Spirit come down and remain, he is the one who will baptize with the Holy Spirit.’
Now I have seen and testified that he is the Son of God.”

Esther,
When I read the words of John that he saw the spirit come down upon him and remain there.
The thought that came into my mine was that John saw the spirit of God. Wow, I don't know of anyone who ever saw the spirit of God.
That was very profound.
We had the sweetest little girl baptised today. She laughed and cooed throughout...just beautiful. A perfect reading for today.
Oh Ed, I've never thought of it that way. Beautiful!!
That is so sweet Alexandra!
What a beautiful picture, Esther!!!
Easter, I just love this artist's work.
