This past Sunday we were able to baptize seven people! Baptism is a very important act of obedience for the believer. It is, in most cases, one's first public confession of Jesus Christ as their Lord and a sign of their repentance towards a new way of life. Pictured below are the people baptized this past Sunday. *Photos curtsey of Jennifer Paddock.
One thing that stood out the most in these photos are the genuine faces of glee. Here we're reminded that we have passed from death to life. From the certainty of death and destruction to life and true purpose. When we stop and understand the sacrifice of the cross our obedience and repentance we willingly give, with bent knee to our Savior. This is what makes us glad in these times. To strive to make our creator happy and well pleased. Especially after all that He has given for us.
