Minute Meditations

Baptism

• If birth is so important that it marks a major touchstone every year, shouldn't our rebirth in Christ at baptism be even more important?
• If baptism is the sacrament through which people enter the church, it seems fitting that Jesus shows the way - identifying with sinners though he was sinless.
• Every baptized person needs to mature in his or her faith. If the church baptized only adults, that would create a false sense of security, a conviction that ongoing conversion is no longer necessary
