What do you see and What do you hear???Mark 1:9-11

Mark 1:9-11
KJV:And it came to pass in those days, that Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was baptized of John in Jordan
KJV:And straightway coming up out of the water, he saw the heavens opened, and the Spirit like a dove descending upon him:
KJV:And there came a voice from heaven, saying, Thou art my Son the beloved in whom I am well pleased...

It surprised me today to know (for the first time) that it was only Jesus who saw the heavens open and heard the voice of God in the above passage.

Only He heard it because it was confirmation to Him that He was in the will of God. Everybody wasn't sent to die for the sins of man so everybody didn't need to hear that message and especially not at that time.

When God confirms a thing to you it is first and foremost to tell you that you are in His will and He is well pleased with you.
Like Jesus did, learn to keep it to yourself until the appointed time, because I have come to realize that even good and great news have an appointed time to be shared...

Shalom!!!
