Water Baptism

On Sunday, March 28, we are going to have a water baptismal service. Sunday as well is Palm Sunday, the day we celebrate Jesus coming into Jerusalem as king. Little did the the disciples realize at that time this was Jesus' last week to live. By the end of the week Jesus would suffer a cruel death on the cross. I am excited about this because what Jesus did on this last week of His life made a way back to God. Water baptism is a public confession of faith which symbolizes what Jesus already has accomplished in the person's life. This act of obedience is very important for our own spiritual development. Jesus, though He was sinless, obedient His Heavenly Father and submitted to water baptism which served as a gateway for His public ministry. I am believing that God is going to speak to each one being baptized tomorrow that it will be an encounter with the living God that they will remember all the days of their life. Let us all make the commitment to obey the Lord as a lifestyle and not only on one day in being baptized.
