The Baptism of Our Lord Explained | Jordan River, Epiphany & the End of Christmas

About this sermon

Today marks the close of the liturgical Christmas season and the beginning of Time After Epiphany, a pivotal moment in the Church year. In this homily, we explore the Feast of the Baptism of Our Lord, one of the four great manifestations of Christ as the Messiah, alongside Christmas, Epiphany, and the Wedding Feast at Cana. This talk explains: Why the liturgical color changes from white to green How the Greater Christmas Season continues until February 2 (Candlemas) The deep Old Testament symbolism of the Jordan River Why Moses could not cross the Jordan, but Joshua (Yeshua / Jesus) could How baptism, Holy Communion, and salvation history are foreshadowed in Exodus The connection between manna in the wilderness and the Eucharist Why the Baptism of Christ is God the Father’s public testimony of Jesus as the Son You’ll also learn why: The Israelites’ journey mirrors our Christian life The Jordan River symbolizes death and entrance into Heaven Holy Communion sustains us now—but not after we enter the Promised Land Scripture must be read with faith to fully see Christ on every page As St. Jerome famously said: “Ignorance of Scripture is ignorance of Christ.” This teaching will deepen your understanding of the liturgical year, Catholic theology, and how the Old and New Testaments are perfectly united in Christ. 📖 Recommended Reading: Exodus The Baptism of Christ (Gospels) Joshua Epiphany & Candlemas liturgical texts 00:00 End of the Christmas Season & Time After Epiphany 00:45 The Greater Christmas Season & February 2 (Candlemas) 01:56 The Four Manifestations of Christ as Messiah 02:23 Epiphany & the Gentiles 02:39 The Baptism of Christ in the Jordan 03:10 The Wedding Feast at Cana 03:54 The Significance of the Jordan River 04:33 Exodus, the Promised Land & Salvation History 05:27 Moses, the Law, and the Gates of Heaven 06:14 Joshua (Yeshua) as a Foreshadowing of Jesus 06:56 Manna, the Eucharist, and the Christian Life 07:29 Death, Heaven, and the End of Sacraments 07:45 Reading Scripture with Faith 08:46 Why Catholics Must Know the Bible 09:06 St. Jerome: Scripture and Christ 09:22 Final Blessing Please remember to say 3 Hail Marys for the priest 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 Support Catholic Businesses here - https://sensusfidelium.com/catholic-businesses/ Sensus Fidelium Press - https://sensusfideliumpress.com/ Sensus Fidelium Apps - https://sensusfidelium.tv/ Support Sensus Fidelium - https://sensusfidelium.com/donate-support/ 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 🙏🏻PLEASE HELP OUR CHANNEL GROW 🙏🏻 ▶️ 1.
