John 1:32
And John bare record, saying, I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove, and it abode upon him.
This verse, if meditated on, can occupy the dullest of imaginations.
Could there be any other verses in God's word that compare?
Matthew, Mark and Luke all have accounts of the mount of transfiguration and I suppose that they might compare.
When Jesus was baptized and covered by the Spirit, he demonstrated an obedience towards God's will. The mount of transfiguration was a benefit for the disciples in attendance. Certainly a rewarding strength to Jesus as he face his most difficult part of his mission.
But the descending of the Holy Spirit as in the form of a peaceful dove!
I pray that a visual magnitude be given to all Christ's followers for strength against the desperate battles ahead.
No worldly pageantry in attendance.
No assembly of dignitary musical ensembles proclaiming glory towards the event.
Nothing in the expectation of human exaltation.
Just those hearkening to a wildman in a wilderness river proclaiming an event of prophesy has been accomplished.
Oh thanks be to God for the humbled servants that delivered to us God's plan of reconcilliation towards all that would hear!
Peace an blessings.
