Just as our Lord Jesus Christ
Went to John the Baptist
To fulfill his covenant…
Demonstrating the importance
Of obedience to Heavenly Father
By being baptized in the river Jordan…
We are each called
To follow His example
To seek forgiveness
And humble ourselves
To be submerged in the water…
This powerful step
Of allowing ourselves to be lowered into the water
To represent the casting off
Of our old self…
To then be raised out of the water
A new person
Free from our sins…
With the full knowledge
Of the sacred covenant
To follow in Christ’s steps…
To embrace a life of serving others
To seek guidance from the scriptures
To allow the Holy Spirit to manifest within us…
The power of the image above
A potent reminder
To each of us of that blessed day…
The day that we
Chose to submit
To become a follower of Jesus Christ…
The day we were forever changed
With spiritual eyes opened
With hunger to learn and to live as Jesus did…
The overwhelming joy
The unexplainable peace
No words can describe…
