As we get into the season of Epiphany, we look at the baptism of our LORD and savior Jesus and see the many ways in which his baptism by John the Baptist was the same as, and different than, our own baptism.

Jesus referred to himself as "the living bread which came down from heaven" and that whoever "eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life." (John 6:51a,54a). However, we are not to confuse this with Holy Communion, also known as the Lord's Supper. Rather, Jesus is telling us that he is the living Word of God, which we need to nourish our faith so that we may live forever in Heaven.
