Just a few weeks ago we celebrated the resurrection of Jesus. And we were reminded the resurrection is not just about something "out there someday." It is about the "here and now." How can we best illustrate that we follow this Jesus and believe in the resurrection? How we act in the "here and now" is one indicator. Another is this thing called "baptism." Paul said it this way, "That's what baptism into the life of Jesus means. When we are lowered into the water, it is like the burial of Jesus; when we are raised up out of the water, it is like the resurrection of Jesus." (Romans 6:3-4, MSG) Baptism is our way to advertise that we follow the resurrected Jesus. |
