Anticipation and Excitement About The Events of This Day

I am sitting in my office doing some final preparation and I feel a sense of anticipation and excitement about the events of this day.

There will be 12 people making a public profession of their faith in Christ, this morning through baptism. It is a day of celebration and a day of spiritual victory! The truth of Jesus is alive in these folks and the hearts of the people in this congregation rejoice!

These words will be reverberating through our sanctuary…

Amazing grace how sweet the sound,
That saved a wretch like me,
I once was lost but now am found,
Was blind but now I see.

“…And be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end of the age." [Jesus] Matthew 28:20
