Pleased...With Me!

A verse caught my eye today and I saw it in a new light. The verse I mean is Matthew 3:17 when John baptizes Jesus..."And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased." That's exciting! See, when we're saved we become "in Him"--a part of the body of Christ, joint heirs, one with Him. And when God looks at us, He sees Jesus; therefore, when I read, "This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased," I know that He isn't just talking about Christ...He means me, too! When God looks at me, He sees Jesus' completed work...and He is pleased! Awesome!
