Water baptism symbolizes the believer’s total trust in and total reliance on the Lord Jesus Christ, as well as a commitment to live obediently to Him. It also expresses unity with all the saints (Ephesians 2:19), that is, with every person in every nation on earth who is a member of the Body of Christ (Galatians 3:27–28). Water baptism conveys this and more, but it is not what saves us. Instead, we are saved by grace through faith, apart from works (Ephesians 2:8–9). We are baptized because our Lord commanded it: “Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit” (Matthew 28:19).
Of all the people you have interacted with in life, who would say has hurt you the most? Whose the first to come to your mind? Who’s wounded you? Who’s lied about you? Who’s walked out on you? Who’s taken your money? Gossiped about you? Who sexually or physically abused you? Who’s been ungrateful and humiliated you in front of a group of people? Who’s said things at a Bible study or at church that produced incredible pain? Who betrayed you?
We don’t mean to pull off a scab. We don’t mean to stir up things that you’ve worked to keep locked deep down in your heart. But we want you to follow us today and give the Holy Spirit a chance to do something supernatural.
