SO, WHAT IS BAPTISM ALL ABOUT?
,
SO, WHAT IS BAPTISM ALL ABOUT?
Baptism is all about Lordship –
You see, from Adam and Eve to you and me, we have been trying to determine what is good and evil on our own.
We have chosen to be our own god and to have the final authority over what brings life and what brings death.
The problem with that is we are often wrong.
Like Eve we try to live a life that looks pleasing but, find in the end it just produced death.
We want to blame everyone else for this death but, we know deep inside we ourselves chose death.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To make Jesus Lord mean we must step away from being our own god.
We recognize Jesus as the master of real life – the abundant life – the life that is worth living.
We repent – or turn away from trying to rule our own lives.
And we accept his leadership in our lives.
We say yes to what he says yes to and we say no to what he says no to.
This is what it means to allow Jesus to be Lord of our Lives.
--------------------------------------------------------
Baptism becomes the symbol that you laying down your lordship and submitting to His!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
HOW DOES BAPTISM REPRESENT ME MAKING JESUS LORD OF MY LIFE?
HOW DOES BAPTISM REPRESENT ME MAKING JESUS LORD OF MY LIFE?
Death to our old sinful nature –
We are saying: That is me on that cross.
That is my penalty.
My old way of life is now dead to me.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Buried with Christ
We identify with Jesus in his burial.
My old life is cut off and gone.
That person, I once was has died and been buried.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Resurrected to a new way of Life
As we come up from the water – we identify with the Life of Jesus.
I am now a new person
I have a new Lord
My past is dead and buried, my life is now new.
I have been Born Again
Born to a new life, new family, new hope.
Born to a New Lord.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
LAST QUESTION.
WHY WOULD I WANT JESUS TO BE LORD OF MY LIFE?
Life, Joy, and Beauty in this present life.
The defeat of death and eternal – LIFE, JOY, and BEAUTY
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
While baptism is a symbol, it is a symbol of the greatest gift of all time.
It is a symbol of our freedom from sin, death, and our own self destruction.
Baptism is your way of publicly proclaiming your intent to follow Jesus as the master of Life.
Baptism is a public confession that Jesus is Lord!
