Baptism (171)
  1. This is an excerpt from the third chapter of By Water and the Word: God’s Gift of Baptism for You by Brian Thomas (1517 Publishing, 2026), pgs 52-60.
  2. Jesus didn’t enter the water because he was sinful; he entered the water because John was sinful, as are we all.
  3. The resurrection means your ultimate problem is no longer ahead of you. The grave is not waiting for you. It is behind you.
  4. We can’t remove our crosses or the reality of our deaths. Only Jesus can.

  9. The baptized do not celebrate sin—they grieve it.
  10. When you remember your baptism, you're not recalling a ritual. You're standing under a current of divine action that has not ceased to flow since the moment those baptismal waters hit your skin.
  11. There is a “re” involved with baptism, but unlike the Anabaptists, it’s not a “re-do,” but a “re-turn" or a “re-member.”
  12. The name of Jesus holds us fast.
