Romans 6:4 (NKJV) 
Therefore we were buried with Him through baptism into death, that just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.

What a joyous day it was when I received Christ as my Lord and Savior and was baptized. I remember it like it was just yesterday. When I started my family I hoped that they too would one day find Christ and be baptized. I have four children and only one has been saved and baptized until yesterday when my son Andrew confessed his love for Christ and was baptized in the ocean just as I was some 20 years ago. Yesterday was a very important day for our family we couldn’t be more proud of him for making that very big but beautiful step towards a life filled with blessings. 

For those who have been baptized know the love of our father; the grace, mercy, and joy of Jesus Christ and the renewing power of our Redeemer. My prayer today is that those who have not called to our Christ, join my family in our faith and know that only through Jesus Christ we can be saved for eternal life. Christ died so that we may live and be transformed. Baptism is the beginning of that transformation and it can begin today for you.

Praise our Lord Jesus Christ for his redeeming power and eternal love given to us on the cross and through our profession of our faith in baptism. May God bless you this day as he has blessed my family.

In the name of Jesus,
