The sign of the cross may be made by all in remembrance of their
Baptism.P In the name of the Father and of the T Son and of the
Holy Spirit.C Amen.P Beloved in the Lord! Let us draw near with a
true heart and confess
our sins unto God our Father, beseeching Him in the name of our
Lord Jesus Christ to grant us forgiveness.
P Our help is in the name of the Lord,C who made heaven and
earth.P I said, I will confess my transgressions unto the Lord,C
and You forgave the iniquity of my sin.
Silence for reflection on God’s Word and for
self-examination.
P O almighty God, merciful Father,C I, a poor, miserable sinner,
confess unto You all my sins and
iniquities with which I have ever offended You and
justlydeserved Your temporal and eternal punishment. But I
amheartily sorry for them and sincerely repent of them, and I
prayYou of Your boundless mercy and for the sake of the
holy,innocent, bitter sufferings and death of Your beloved Son,
JesusChrist, to be gracious and merciful to me, a poor, sinful
being.
P Upon this your confession, I, by virtue of my office, as a
called andordained servant of the Word, announce the grace of God
unto all ofyou, and in the stead and by the command of my Lord
Jesus Christ Iforgive you all your sins in the name of the Father
and of the T Sonand of the Holy Spirit.
C Amen.

Jordan River Youproclaimed Him Your beloved Son and anointed Him

Old Testament Reading Genesis 1:1–51In the beginning, God
created the heavens and the earth. 2The earth was
without form and void, and darkness was over the face of the
deep. Andthe Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the
waters.
3And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light. 4And
God sawthat the light was good. And God separated the light from
the darkness.5God called the light Day, and the darkness he called
Night. And there wasevening and there was morning, the first
day.
A This is the Word of the Lord.C Thanks be to God.
Gradual Psalm 117:1–2a; 96:8All: Praise the LORD, all |
nations!*
Extol him, all | peoples!For great is his steadfast | love
toward us,*
and the faithfulness of the LORD endures for- | ever.Ascribe to
the LORD the glory | due his name;*
bring an offering, and come in- | to his courts!
Epistle Romans 6:1–111What shall we say then? Are we to continue
in sin that grace may
abound? 2By no means! How can we who died to sin still live in
it? 3Doyou not know that all of us who have been baptized into
Christ Jesus werebaptized into his death? 4We were buried therefore
with him by baptisminto death, in order that, just as Christ was
raised from the dead by theglory of the Father, we too might walk
in newness of life.
5For if we have been united with him in a death like his, we
shallcertainly be united with him in a resurrection like his. 6We
know that our
4
-
old self was crucified with him in order that the body of sin
might bebrought to nothing, so that we would no longer be enslaved
to sin. 7For onewho has died has been set free from sin. 8Now if we
have died with Christ,we believe that we will also live with him.
9We know that Christ beingraised from the dead will never die
again; death no longer has dominionover him. 10For the death he
died he died to sin, once for all, but the life helives he lives to
God. 11So you also must consider yourselves dead to sinand alive to
God in Christ Jesus.
A This is the Word of the Lord.C Thanks be to God.
Alleluia and Verse LSB 190C Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia.
Holy Gospel Mark 1:4–11P The Holy Gospel according to St. Mark,
the first chapter.C Glory be to Thee, O Lord.
4John appeared, baptizing in the wilderness and proclaiming a
baptism ofrepentance for the forgiveness of sins. 5And all the
country of Judea and allJerusalem were going out to him and were
being baptized by him in theriver Jordan, confessing their sins.
6Now John was clothed with camel’shair and wore a leather belt
around his waist and ate locusts and wildhoney. 7And he preached,
saying, “After me comes he who is mightier thanI, the strap of
whose sandals I am not worthy to stoop down and untie. 8Ihave
baptized you with water, but he will baptize you with the
HolySpirit.”
9In those days Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee and was
baptized byJohn in the Jordan. 10And when he came up out of the
water, immediatelyhe saw the heavens opening and the Spirit
descending on him like a dove.11And a voice came from heaven, “You
are my beloved Son; with you I amwell pleased.”
P This is the Gospel of the Lord.C Praise be to Thee, O
Christ.
Apostles’ CreedC I believe in God, the Father Almighty,
maker of heaven and earth.
And in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord,
5
-
who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the virgin Mary,
suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died and was buried.
He descended into hell. The third day He rose again from the dead.
He ascended into heaven and sits at the right hand of God the
Father Almighty. From thence He will come to judge the living and
the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy Christian Church, the
communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of
the body, and the life T everlasting. Amen.
405 To Jordan’s River Came Our Lord
5 The Father’s word, the Spirit’s flightAnointed Christ in
glorious sightAs God’s own choice, from Adam’s fallTo save the
world and free us all.
6 Now rise, faint hearts, be resolute;This man is Christ, our
substitute!He was baptized in Jordan’s stream,Proclaimed Redeemer,
Lord supreme.

401 From God the Father, Virgin-Born1 From God the Father,
virgin-born
To us the only Son came down;By death the font to consecrate,The
faithful to regenerate.
2 Beginning from His home on high,In human flesh He came to
die;Creation by His death restored,And shed new joys of life
abroad.
3 Glide on, O glorious Sun, and bringThe gift of healing on Your
wing;To ev’ry dull and clouded senseThe clearness of Your light
dispense.
4 Abide with us, O Lord, we pray;The gloom of darkness chase
away;Your work of healing, Lord, begin,And take away the stain of
sin.
5 Lord, once You came to earth’s domainAnd, we believe, shall
come again;Be with us on the battlefield,From ev’ry harm Your
people shield.
D 6 To You, O Lord, all glory beFor this Your blest epiphany;To
God, whom all His hosts adore,And Holy Spirit evermore.

January 10, 2021 – The voice from heaven reveals that Jesus is
the chosen andbeloved Son of God. According to human thinking, it
seems unlikely that Jesuswould come to John to be baptized. Yet He
has come to be baptized, countedamong sinners, in order to redeem
sinners. He counts Himself among us. In ourBaptism, we are united
to His death and resurrection and so receive forgiveness forour
sins.
