I was at the church very
early this morning. At 5:30 am, I began
filling a 4ft. wide, by 7 ft. long, by 4 and half foot deep tub with water.
You say, “You guys
have a hot tub at your church?!? That is
so cool!!!”
No. Not exactly.
It’s not a hot tub. It’s a baptismal
tank.
Eleven people will
step into that tank today and—by participating in the ordinance of baptism—they
will proclaim that they are trusting in Jesus Christ as their Savior and Lord.
The response of the
church will be cheering, tears of joy, wonder, excitement, great happiness,
connection with God and gratitude to God.
We recognize their act of obedience as a wonderful spiritual victory. It is a day of celebration!
You can’t see it,
but I just had a moment of dancing and pumping my fist in the air!
Now, time to go
check the water level.
