The water’s not special…or is it?
This past Easter we set a record for baptisms in one weekend with 96. It was so amazing. God was on the move!!
At the end of 96 people getting baptized with brand new BLUE shirts, the water gets a little cloudy. (Maybe a lot cloudy.) It was a tenge of grayish blue.
Some people think this water is too gross at that point. However, I know it’s from a ton of new people in NEW SHIRTS making the greatest choice of their lives.
Now, come to Cambodia with me and watch some baptisms. The water is a little dingy, and not from t-shirts. The water is not crystal clear…but they don’t hesitate for a minute. Why???
NEW LIFE IS ON THE WAY!
“We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life.” (Romans 6:4 NIV)
