(v.4) I’ve had the privilege to assist with the baptisms of my niece and nephew. They were powerful, Spirit-filled moments. After my nephew’s baptism, something amazing happened. I lifted up his big sister so she could touch the water in the font. She splashed for a bit and I made the sign of the cross with the water on her forehead. And then she, almost three years old, did the same to me! I could feel the presence of God through her wet finger. She then proceeded to mark our family members with a wet cross. In that moment I wasn’t thinking about death, but the reminder that the two of us are claimed by God and “walk in newness of life.” (v.4) By our baptisms, we both were buried with Christ. Because of this death, we too are able to live in resurrection, that beautiful Sunday morning, today, and in the life to come. God of resurrection, we thank you for the new life given through your son. Amen.
