Baptism is a way to proclaim what God has done in your life through Christ. This young lady was one of those that came to the Seed Ministry Site last week. Pastor Amos baptized her while some of the congregation looked on. I noticed the children in the background with different expressions on their faces. Baptism, among other things, is giving a testimony about the death, burial, and resurrection of our Lord. Now this young lady, without saying a word, is proclaiming:
"Do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? We we buried therefore with him by baptism into death, so that as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, we too might walk in newness of life" (Romans 6:3-4).
And "You were buried with him in baptism, in which you were also raised with him through faith in the working of God, who raised him from the dead" (Col. 2:12).
I pray that those children were listening to this wonderful wordless sermon.
