This episode traces the presence of the Lord from Joshua 3 to Matthew 3, showing how God's coming brings both conquest and recreation. Using the Ark crossing the Jordan and Jesus' baptism, the sermon connects the Old Testament deliverance with the New Testament work of Christ: the Spirit hovering, the division of waters, and the decisive overthrow of sin.
It explains how baptism unites us with Christ—dying to the old self and rising as the new creation—offers assurance in the face of death, and invites believers to receive grace concretely in the sacraments: forgiveness, new life, and the promise of resurrection.
