Bound together by water – Jan. 12, 2025

January 12, 2025

Scripture: Luke 3:15-17, 21-22

Jesus’s baptism is what shows that he was not just the Son of God, but also human. His baptism is what shows his solidarity with humans.

On this Sunday, Melissa encouraged us to take time to remember our own baptisms, or to consider becoming baptized if we weren’t already. Baptism in the church is a large part of what binds us together as a community of believers. It reminds us of our own humanity and that we are a part of something bigger than ourselves.
