When You Just Can’t Wait
Sometimes you just can’t get there fast enough. You’re excited to be somewhere and everything is moving in super slomo…especially the people you’re traveling with. Once on the road, every driver decides this is the day to drive BELOW the speed limit. If that’s not all, you hit every light. Every. Single. One.
Even when you get out of the car, you’re doing that awkward run/walk. You know the one. It’s the same stiff-legged scamper you employed as a kid at the pool when the lifeguard blew the whistle and shouted, “No running!”
Maybe you’re meeting someone you love at the airport. You might be eager to see the latest new Star Wars flick. Maybe you’ve simply had a long week and work and can’t wait to start your weekend.
You let ‘er rip because you can’t get there fast enough!
Peter’s Ghostwriter
Did you know there was a day when God felt the same way? There was a day when every member of the Trinity couldn’t wait to get together. The Godhead couldn’t get there fast enough.
Mark writes all about that big day near the beginning of his bio of Jesus. Actually, there’s a good chance this is actually the Apostle Peter’s eyewitness account of Christ’s life. It’s like one of those books written by a ghostwriter. Call it Pete’s story of Jesus as told to John Mark.
The two guys certainly go back a ways. Dr. Luke describes how Pete runs to the house owned by Mark’s mom when God busts him out of jail (Acts 12:12-14). And later the apostle Jesus nicknames Rocky tells the readers of his first letter that Mark says “hey” (1Pet 5:20). But I digress.
Trending on Twitter
We pick up the action in Mark’s Gospel with Jesus’ weird bug-eating cousin John baptizing people in the Jordan River (Mk 1:4-6). Big crowds come from all over Judea and Jerusalem and line up hear him preach. They come to turn from their sin and toward God and then get baptized.
While John the Baptizer is getting all the press and trending on Twitter, he realizes that he’s only the opening act. If you think John’s baptism is something, you ain’t seen nothing yet. Just wait until Messiah takes the stage (Mk 1:7-8).
Jesus Doesn’t Play the God Card
What the Baptizer doesn’t realize is that the One he’s been waiting for is actually waiting in line. Mark tells it this way. “One day Jesus came from Nazareth in Galilee, and John baptized Him in the Jordan River” (v9).
Let’s zoom out and take a wide shot of the huge crowds packing the banks of the Jordan. If you know anything about the radical Rabbi/Carpenter, you know He’s not One to play the God card like a fast pass at Disney World. You’ll never see Him throwing His heavenly weight around in order to move to the head of the line.
There’s just no way around it. Jesus is humble. He may be the King of Kings and Lord of Lords but when once He takes on human form for His spectacular rescue mission, He was a homeless Judean preacher (Lk 9:58; 2Cor 8:9). Christ even dictates a letter to the church in Laodicea that He politely knocks and waits at the front door instead simply barging in (Rev 3:20).
God Waits in Line
Stop and think about that for just a minute. God waits His turn. Jesus has left the luxury of the heavenly palace for the boondocks of Galilee. Now we see God Incarnate cueing up along the river bank like He’s making a trip to the DMV. Let that sink in.
Soon God the Spirit and God the Father will come racing to join God the Son at the Jordan River. But for just a few moments, our Savior waits in line. He waits His turn. Just imagine Jesus making small talk with other folks standing in line. Hey, where are you from? Pretty soon, they’ll know EXACTLY who He is and where He’s from.
If He waited His turn, so can I.
Obedience to the Father
Imagine the Dunker’s surprise when it’s Messiah’s turn to get in the water. Matthew tells us John and Jesus got into a little argument. “John tried to talk Him out of it. ‘I am the one who needs to be baptized by You’” (Mt 3:14). Awkward!
The Son of God tells His crazy fur-wearing cousin baptism is critical to the plan His Dad has for Him, “For we must carry out all that God requires” (Mt 3:15). Did the sinless Lamb of God need to be baptized? Probably not.
The Cosmic Rescue Mission
But Jesus knew it was His Father’s will that this was more than that. You see, the Lord has an assignment. A very important assignment. He came on His cosmic rescue mission to do for us what we could never do for ourselves.
He’s our substitute. Christ lives the perfectly obedient life we fail to live. He dies the death for our sin and rebellion we should have died. He rises to the glorious new life we don’t deserve. He does it all for us! As our substitute, He follows every command of God in our place. That includes baptism.
The Water’s Fine!
Three years later, our Savior dots the “I” and crosses the “T” on baptism just before He heads home to heaven. “Go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Teach these new disciples to obey all the commands I have given you” (Mt 28:19-20).
Mind if I ask you a question? Have you been baptized? If you’re a follower of Jesus and you have yet to get wet, why not? Sure, baptism doesn’t save anybody. It’s an outward sign of an inward change. But Jesus told us to. And He was willing to do it Himself. Come on in. The water’s fine!
Putting the Pedal to the Metal
Meanwhile back at the Jordan River, Mark picks up the story with the Lord coming back to the surface. “As Jesus came up out of the water, he saw the heavens splitting apart and the Holy Spirit descending on Him like a dove” (v10). Christ may have been willing to wait in line, but the Spirit can’t wait to get there.
Here’s a little something we miss in this particular translation. The folks with the NLT decide not to use a word (Gr. ευθυς/euthos) which appears here in the original Greek. It means immediately, right away, or at once.
After Jesus patiently waits His turn in line, suddenly the pace picks up when He comes up out of the water. This is a classic example of how Mark’s bio of the Son of God is fast and furious. He wastes no time in telling Christ’s story. Once again, he puts the pedal to the metal.
Slicing the Sky to Shreds
In this case, it’s the Spirit of God who let’s it rip! No, seriously. That’s exactly how the author describes it. He uses a word (Gr. σχιζω/schizo) which paints a picture of ripping something into parts, tearing in two, or slicing into shreds.
The Apostle John uses this word at Christ’s crucifixion. Instead of tearing apart Jesus’ tunic when He died, His executioners decided to shoot craps for it. Winner take all (Jn 19:24). When Paul and Barnabas tell the folks in Iconium about Jesus, Luke describes how the Gospel tears the town apart (Acts 14:4).
A Tear at the Temple
God’s not above ripping things up at important points in history. He tears the massive curtain in the temple separating the Holy of Holies (Mt 27:51; Mk 15:38; Lk 23:45). How do we know God did it? The 15-foot tall heavy drapes tore from top to bottom. Why? Jesus’ death allows every one of us access to God’s presence.
Here’s another time when God tears things apart. The Holy Spirit slices apart the sky so He can get there in a hurry. It’s a big day in the life of one His two closest Friends. The Third Person of the Godhead pulls apart the barrier between heaven and earth to make a beeline.
It’s time for God to let ‘er rip! He can’t get there fast enough!
Look, up in the sky! It’s a Bird!
All four of Jesus’ biographers describe the Spirit’s arrival looking like a descending dove (Mt 3:16; Mk 1:10; Lk 3:22; Jn 1:32). Why this particular kind of bird? I gotta be honest. I have no idea. God in spirit form is invisible (Jn 4:24). But this is one of few times He makes Himself visible. The other is at Pentecost when He makes the scene in the upper room “like flames or tongues of fire” (Acts 2:2).
The Spirit zooms down to the Son for a few very important reasons. A Trinity Partner, He just had to be there. There are no greater and closer Friends than the three Members of the Godhead. Since God made us in His image (Gen 1:28), we’re made to be in relationship with others.
The Spirit and the Son
The Spirit will be an invaluable source of divine strength to Jesus during His three years of ministry. The Son of God empties Himself before coming to our rescue (Phil 2:6). While we don’t know exactly what that means, most likely He set aside access to His supernatural qualities.
The Spirit of God would fill the Son of God as He takes on human form in His role as the God Man (Mt 4:1; Lk 4:1). They would team up to demonstrate what it’s like for the Third Person of the Trinity would lead, guide, and direct someone (Jn 16:13; Rom 8:14; Gal 5:18; Eph 5:18).
Finally, God told John the Baptizer to keep his eyes peeled for the Holy Spirit. This would be the heavenly sign of approval of on the long awaited Hero (Jn 1:33-34). The cosmic combo of Spirit and Son would his signal to the prophet that this was Messiah.
Here Comes the Father!
If things weren’t crazy enough along the Jordan River at this point, check out what happens next. “And a voice from heaven said, ‘You are My dearly loved Son, and You bring Me great joy’” (v11).
You don’t think two Members of the Godhead are going to show up without the third! God the Father hustles to be there for His Son’s big day too. Maybe the Spirit’s split of the sky allows Jesus’ heavenly Dad to see what’s happening and for everyone to hear His voice.
The Great Dance
What a great reminder of the passionate friendship among the Father, Son, and Spirit. They give us the perfect picture of what intimate relationship looks like. Three Persons. One God. Three Whos. One What. Each One of them is absolutely and fully God. NOT three gods. Yeah, kind of makes your head hurt.
Together they are not just the Holy Trinity but, in the words of C.S. Lewis, the Wholly Trinity. He also described their amazing relationship as the Great Dance. Insert joke here about Southern Baptists and dancing!
The Eternal Friendship
If you think the concept of the Trinity makes your head hurt, just think about this quote from Tim Keller. “There was never a time in which friendship was not, because from all eternity, the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit were delighting in each other.” Even before Creation, there was friendship. Because God made us in His relational image, loneliness is never a good thing.
John the Baptizer and the big crowd crammed along the Jordan are privileged to see and hear the Father, Son, and Spirit bust a move. Jesus soaking wet. Spirit soaring down. Dad shouting out. Three Persons. One God. One great big party!
God let’s ‘er rip! He can’t get there fast enough!
The Ultimate Attaboy
The Heavenly Father gives His Son the ultimate Attaboy! “You are My dearly loved Son, and You bring Me great joy” (v11). He couldn’t be any more proud of His one and only Child. Dad doesn’t just love His Son, He likes Him. He REALLY, REALLY likes Him!
When we unpack this phrase in the original language, we see the Greek word ευδοκεω/eudokeo. It means to give pleasure and delight. It comes from a compound word which means “good (Gr. ευ-/eu-) thoughts (Gr. -δοκεω/-dokeo).” When the Father thinks of His Son, there’s nothing but pride and joy.
Jesus’ First Day on the Job
Notice that Jesus has yet to start His three-year ministry. This is pretty much His first day on the job. There’s a lot to do. People to heal. Sermons to preach. Miracles to perform. Disciples to choose. Crosses to bear. Death to defeat.
But here on Day One, all that is in the future. Yet He is His Dad’s approval. This moment of supernatural pride and joy has NOTHING to do with His performance. It has everything to do with the Father’s love.
Daddy Issues
Jesus is the only person in the history of the planet who did NOT have “daddy issues.” Let’s be honest. We’ve all got them. You. Me. Us. Them. Somehow, someway, our fathers left us hanging.
In his book Wild at Heart, John Eldredge calls it the “father wound.” Every little boy desperately needs his father’s approval. Am I really a man? Have I got what it takes…when it counts? Am I powerful? Every girl needs to know from her dad that she is lovely, that he will pursue her, that he will fight for her.
The Perfect Dad
Jesus’ perfect Dad gives Him the approval we all crave. And the Son of God didn’t have to DO anything to earn it. His Heavenly Dad loved Him long before He stepped out into ministry.
Pardon me while we chase an important rabbit down the trail. If you’re parent, let your child know you love them and you’re proud of them…NO MATTER WHAT! Your approval of them shouldn’t be conditional. And for those of us with “daddy issues,” forgive your father right here, right now. He’s not perfect. There’s only one Dad who is.
The Son Is Our Substitute
For those of us who think we’ll never measure up to Jesus’ stature in the eyes of Father God, there’s good news. Better yet, Good News. He came to give us the joyful approval of our Heavenly Dad. And we don’t have to do a dad-gum thing to receive it.
Christ came to live the perfect life of obedience to the Father’s commands that we’ve failed to live. He dies the brutal death for our sin and rebellion that we should have died. He rises to a spectacular new life that we certainly do not deserve.
When we simply place our trust in Who Jesus is and what He’s done, something supernatural happens. God the Spirit races to live inside us. Our trust in God’s goodness brings our Heavenly Father great joy. When God becomes our perfect Dad, He perfectly heals our “father wound.”
What’s Really Going on
Once we trust in Jesus, the Father sees His one and only Son when He looks at you and me. Chances are we won’t actually see Him tear the heavens apart. We probably won’t see His Spirit descending like a dove. We may not hear our Heavenly Dad shout His approval.
But, trust me. It happens. He’s crazy about you.
