Jesus—the new Joshua—enters the Jordan, not parting the waters but opening heaven and a new way into the true Promised Land of divine life.

Bishop Tony Percy says that there is an ancient recipe for ‘baptising cucumbers in vinegar’ to produce pickles that the early Christians adopted to describe the mystery: Just as cucumbers need a good deal of immersing to bring about pickles, so too human beings need a good deal of immersing in the teaching of Jesus, and then in water, to bring about disciples of Jesus Christ

Mother Hilda draws on Shakespeare’s “King Lear” to show a parallel between Cordelia's merciful response and God's grace—noting that while humans often demand justice and restitution, God offers forgiveness rather than requiring us to suffer for our wrongs

Fr Antony Jukes contrasts modern horoscope reading of the stars with the biblical story of the Wise Men following a star to find Jesus

Mark Raue says the word “mission” has deep roots in the Christian tradition, where it means being sent with a specific calling. Mission is central to Jesus’ Great Commission, of embodying God's vision for humanity

Fr Joshua Whitehead says that knowing God's love requires intimate heart knowledge rather than mere intellectual belief, comparing it to how we experience being loved and known in family relationships.

Bishop Tony Percy asks is this Gospel story fanciful? An angel appears to Joseph in a dream. Is this the proclamation of the supernatural world entering the natural world? Every now and then, God lets us know that the supernatural world is well and truly alive

Fr Mark De Battista says true faith is shown not by words but by obedience to God’s will, and we find peace and happiness when we trust and obey, rather than presume we know better than God.
