Re:Verse passage – Mark 1:4–5, 9–11; Acts 8:9–13, 34–39
(day two) As they went along the road they came to some water; and the eunuch said, “Look! Water! What prevents me from being baptized?”
How does baptism figure in to discipleship? Like so many other things we do, it points to Jesus. He did it, he demonstrated how we are to act and behave, and it signals to others not only our obedience, but a symbol of our new life as well. We must continue to fight the rhetoric that faith is a quiet personal matter that doesn’t impact others. Jesus publicly called his disciples and he was baptized for all to see. Our lives should be oriented around a living declaration of who Christ is to us, and what he has done for us. Baptism is a way do demonstrate that.
We are currently finishing our Mission Choir Tour to Boston, and you would be so proud of our youth and the way they have demonstrated their faith to others in very bold ways. It is a privilege to watch them grow as disciples.
