Last Sunday night in Aningas, the little kids were out of control, like they had eaten sugar and caffeine all day and their parents let them out, just in time for our Sunday School lessons.
This Sunday we prayed more and prepared a few more activities for the littler kids. Fewer kids came out and Caroline and William were able to go through the lesson sheet and do the activities with them.
This freed Mark up to teach the teen and adult class on Baptism. They learned that they died to sin, the moment they accepted Christ, and were made new in Christ. Mark explained that baptism is the obedient step and the public testimony of what happened when they confessed Christ as their personal and only Savior.
They had some questions about different types of baptism, and about people that say you have to be baptized to be saved. Fortunately, Mark answered their questions and gave them the Scripture to back up his answers. God gave help and His Word fed and taught His precious lambs.
I’ve had this warm little glow inside me since Sunday night. Look at what God has done! Look at what He continues to do! He still saves souls and feeds and cares for them. These truths that we hold to our heart are real, and His lambs hear His voice and they follow Him.
We were buried therefore with Him by the baptism into death, so that just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glorious [power] of the Father, so we too might [habitually] live and behave in newness of life. (Romans 6:4 AMP)
