Sacraments (Part 2)

Baptism: Why Did Jesus Command It?

Matthew 28:18-20

Most of us really enjoy a good comeback story. Especially when it comes to sports. When your team is down all season and all hope is lost, but then suddenly they pull out a win right when it counts and take the championship title, it fills you with immense joy and excitement. You’ll walk around proudly wearing your team jersey as you identify with their victory and claim it as your own.Jesus overcame the greatest enemy in the world and procured the highest victory for anyone who believes in Him.

For all who possess saving faith in Christ, His victory is now their victory, His joy is their joy. So, what is the symbol of this victory? What can we proudly display to everyone around us to say that we belong to the Champion? Come tomorrow morning to find out what this all-important divine element is all about.
