Speaking on the feast of the Baptism of the Lord from Matthew 3:13-17, the Rev'd Dr Jamie Franklin shows us that the Gospel is God's gift to the world and not something that we conjure up by our own efforts. He also reflects upon the significance of baptising his infant child Alexander and the responsibility of parents, godparents and the household of faith towards children.
