This past Sunday we had the blessing of doing something every grandparent prays for. That was to be able to attend the baptism of our oldest grandson Aiden. We have been praying for him and asking God to speak to his tender heart over these past few years and we praise the Lord for His goodness. It was a blessing to hear Aiden read his testimony, be challenged by his Pastor, Uncle Stephen, and then identify with Christ, death burial, and resurrection.
Baptism is to be a first public step for believers. It doesn't save, but identifies you as part of God's forever family. I believe we can sometimes downplay the importance of baptism, yet what a significant step to take as a child of the King. Jesus was baptized without any need to to do it other than modeling for us its importance. I encourage you to prayerfully consider being baptized by immersion if you have never submitted to it. It will be a defining moment in your Christian walk.
