A Baptismal Story

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. Each of us is raised into a light-filled world by our Father so that we can see where we're going in our new grace-sovereign country.    ----- Romans 6:3-5

Pastor Doug Stratton, pastor of Hatboro Baptist Church, reports that there was a beautiful celebration of new life and two young women passed through the waters of baptism to declare their faith in Jesus Christ. Their testimony was clear, Jesus had saved them and Jesus was leading them.

Being able to preside over that was wonderful, but even more exciting was the fact that each of these invited family and friends to witness their testimony! They were eager for their peers to know that they were taking this step. It was not a private act, it was not decided for them. It was their decision to follow Jesus obediently into the waters of baptism and to share that testimony with everyone who would come.

Are you eager for your friends and neighbors and family to know your testimony? Do your friends know that you are a follower of Jesus? I am not asking if they know you go to church, do they know you are living for Jesus?
