GLORY UNVEILED

The Holy Spirit coming upon Jesus
at His baptism in the Jordan river.
.
THE DEW FROM HEAVEN
Harmony is as refreshing as the dew from Mount Hermon that falls on the mountains of Zion.And there the Lord has pronounced his blessing,even life everlasting…(1)
So Israel conquered the entire area from Aroer at the edge of the Arnon Gorge all the way to Mount Sion, also called Mount Hermon.. ..(2)
Let my teaching fall on you like rain;let my speech settle like dew.Let my words fall like rain on tender grass,like gentle showers on young plants…(3)
I will be to Israel like a refreshing dew from heaven.Israel will blossom like the lily;it will send roots deep into the soil like the cedars in Lebanon…(4)
The rain and snow come down from the heavens and stay on the ground to water the earth.They cause the grain to grow,producing seed for the farmer and bread for the hungry…(5)
So the Word became human and made his home among us. He was full of unfailing love and faithfulness. And we have seen his glory, the glory of the Father’s one and only Son…(6)
For he is sent by God. He speaks God’s words, for God gives him the Spirit without limit.
From his abundance we have all received one gracious blessing after another
…(7)
For harmony is as precious as the anointing oil that was poured over Aaron’s head,that ran down his beard and onto the border of his robe
…(8)
