A Thought for the week
Week of July 12
We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life. Romans 6:4
As you are reading this, I will most likely be exhausted from being at a waterpark all day. Swimming in water is soothing to the body; especially on a hot summer day. Water is also a reminder of baptism. The washing away of not only our sins but a sign of rebirth. From old life without Christ to new life in Christ. Remembering your baptism is not about actual memory but about being reminded of what baptism points toward: Christ Jesus leading us to new life.
