Holy: Cleansing Waters

Baptism is a sign of “newness of life”, a call to a transformation in holiness. What happens when the “coal” touches your lips, in real life. New creation. In Jesus, God’s holiness comes as an invitation. In Jesus, holiness is no longer corrupted by the unholy (as described in the priestly context of ritual purity)- but rather is in itself an invitation to a transformation in holiness. Baptism is a sacrament that expresses this holiness as a cleansing stream that flows from God’s heart.
