God's Sons and Daughters

 John Baptist was reluctant to baptize Jesus because he knew that he needed to be washed by Jesus. But Jesus required John to baptize Him anyway. Jesus was not afraid to be identified with sinners or even to be considered a sinner, even though He never sinned. 
         We must not shrink away from God because we are unworthy in ourselves. It is no secret that we are sinners but if we are in Jesus, He was washed for us, and we are washed in Him. The stain of sin is gone as Christ has forgiven us our sins. The Heavenly Father was pleased with His Son who came from Heaven to Earth to make us His sons and daughters. And He is pleased with us, His children, and has raised us from Earth to Heaven.
