We tend to derive our sense of security from our circumstances, but when we do that, we live with constant anxiety over the possibility that our circumstances will change and our lives are shattered when they do. Thankfully, in his Baptism, Jesus both stood with us broken humans and was revealed to be the beloved Son of God. United with him in our Baptism and secure in the new identity he has given us, we can live with confident faith in him. (Based on Luke 3:15-22.)
