Re:Verse passage – Mark 1:4-5, 9-11; Acts 8:9-13, 34-39 (Day Five)
When was the last time you clearly saw God at work? May I suggest that every time we witness a person following Christ in believer’s baptism, we clearly see God at work. God has not only saved them from their sins, but He has also continued that work (Philippians 1:6) calling and leading them to take the next step in their faith walk- baptism.
Maybe all of us need to be reminded that God is still at work growing His Kingdom. Maybe all of us need to be reminded of the sermon that each person being baptized is preaching: Salvation has come by the grace of God (Titus 2), and that baptism portrays that we have died with Christ and have been raised with Him (Romans 6).
Maybe we all need to remember what new and fresh faith feels like- the honesty and vulnerability on display to publicly profess and testify about our faith in Christ. Maybe we need to remember names, faces, and relationships that were a part of our faith story (2 Timothy 3:14).
So, the next time you see a baptism:
Will you be reminded?
Will you remember?
Will you rejoice?
God is clearly at work!!
