One of the great joys of being in the ministry is having the opportunity to baptise people after they have made a profession of faith in our Lord, Jesus Christ. This past Sunday we were able to baptise nine people who wanted to make a public profession of their love for and faith in Jesus.
Lucky was the oldest individual being baptised and we baptised him first. He is on oxygen and unable to walk without assistance so we had to help him into and out of the pool. It was such a blessing to see the joy on his face as he shared his testimony in baptism. His public confession was a big step of obedience for him and spoke volumes to those who witnessed the baptism.
The youngest person baptised was Gabriya who, when I interviewed her about why she wanted to be baptised, gave an amazingly clear and biblically accurate testimony of what Jesus had done in her life and what salvation was all about. I wish that everyone had as good an understanding of what "believing in Jesus" means as she does! She brought tears to my eyes as I baptised her.
Lord, you have given me such a wonderful privilege to be an ambassador for Christ. Thank you for allowing me to by Your instrument in these wonderful people's lives. Amen!
