BIBLE VERSE:
 
“I saw the Spirit come down from heaven as a dove and remain on him. And I myself did not know him, but the one who sent me to baptize with water told me, ‘The man on whom you see the Spirit come down and remain is the one who will baptize with the Holy Spirit.” 
JOHN 1:32-33 NIV
 
DESCRIPTION:
 
Original Christian oil painting.  The book of John describes the Spirit that came down on Jesus at His baptism, as a dove.  This critical biblical time when Jesus received the Holy Spirit is when his healing powers in ministry really began.  The painting freezes and isolates that moment Jesus emerges from the water and His reflection is that of the dove or Holy Spirit that fills Him.  The bursting motion of the watering running off his tunic, contrasts with the monochromatic still waters around him.  A part of Jesus’s Baptism Series, this makes an excellent baptism Christian art gift.
 
A longer verse from John explains the role of The Holy Spirit in baptism:
 
Jesus replied, “Very truly I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless they are born again.”
“How can someone be born when they are old?” Nicodemus asked. “Surely they cannot enter a second time into their mother’s womb to be born!”
Jesus answered, “Very truly I tell you, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless they are born of water and the Spirit.  Flesh gives birth to flesh, but the Spirit[ gives birth to spirit. You should not be surprised at my saying, ‘You must be born again.’  The wind blows wherever it pleases. You hear its sound, but you cannot tell where it comes from or where it is going. So it is with everyone born of the Spirit.”
