About the Cover: The voice from heaven announces, “You are My beloved Son, Jesus” though He has no sin, has joined Himself to sinners in a Baptism for the repentance of sins, which he did not need. Likewise, He was counted among sinners as He hung on the cross in atonement for our sins. He united Himself to us in order that He might bring us into His resurrection life. In Holy Baptism, we each have been united to His cross and resurrection life so that we are dead to sin and alive to God.
