(ESV)\n\n        God the Father said ``This is my beloved Son in whom I am\n   well pleased,''3 when Jesus stepped out of the water after being\n   baptized by John.  We believe, teach, and confess that the Father\n   sent His Son to take upon Himself the sins of all people.\n\n        Isaiah confessed that the Father, the LORD and creator of\n   heaven and earth, willingly gave His Son for our salvation.\n        Thus says God, the LORD, who created the heavens and\n        stretched them out, who spread out the earth and what\n        comes from it, who gives breath to the people on it and\n        spirit to those who walk in it: ``I am the LORD; I have\n        called you in righteousness; I will take you by the\n        hand and keep you; I will give you as a covenant for\n        the people, a light for the nations, to open the eyes\n        that are blind, to bring out the prisoners from the\n        dungeon, from the prison those who sit in darkness.''\n\n\n        As we read and hear the words of the prophet Isaiah, we come\n   to know that God, out of His grace and mercy, created the heavens\n   and the earth.  Because we are created and not the product of\n   random chance, we have the desire and ability to serve our\n   neighbor, to work for the good of others.  Yet, because we have\n   sinned, we don't always act according to our beliefs.\n\n        May our heavenly Father grant us the desire to recognize Him\n   as our Creator, and give us the desire to live according to His\n   will.  Amen.\n\n   ____________________\n\n   3.
