As I
was running on the bike path next to a beautiful stream on a recent sunny day,
I noticed a mother with two little children wading through the water. They were playfully splashing the water at
each other, looking for rocks, and enjoying their day together.
This little water scene gave me a new
understanding of the meaning of baptism.
Baptism is a time of celebration in which we experience the refreshing
water of God’s love and receive God’s grace anew.
We are currently focusing on the theme,
“Transformed Living” during our worship services by using the image of
water. Water reminds us of cleansing,
renewal, new life, and yes, playfulness!
I am so glad that we are celebrating several
baptisms during this sermon series. One
of the ways that we experience a transformed life is by remembering our baptism
and giving thanks.
May God bless you as we focus on what it
means to live transformed lives.
