When I was baptized at the age of 9, my father who baptized me, made a statement after I came out of the water.  “We are in for some rough times.”  I asked him what he met.  His response, “You will ask the questions, no one wants to answer.”  He was right.  I have.   I still am.   Why do we have church buildings?  Why spend millions on buildings that sit empty most of the week when we can help the poor, fix or build homes, help the sick?  Why do we argue over what Scripture is so point blank about?

 

Jesus goes to John to be baptized.  Does he need baptism?  No.  So why do it?  He sit an example that he for HIS followers.  He wanted them to be baptized (submerged).  Later we would understand the importance, but HE set the example.  Isn’t sad that we fight over whether or not to be baptized, when the LORD set the example for us to follow.  I was baptized for two reasons.  The first, Jesus was.  I follow Jesus.  Second, for the forgiveness of my sins and to receive the HOLY SPIRIT (Acts 2:38),   By the way, the HOLY SPIRIT descended upon Jesus after HE came out of the water.  True for us today.

 

I hope that everyone has a great day, Beloved.  Follow Jesus, not man.  Jesus is always right.
