Day 25~Water Baptism~The Commissioning of a Disciple



Through Jesus Christ you are a new creation!!

What I'm about to talk about really just dawned on me as I read today's dare.
For me, I was baptized at ten years of age, in a small Baptist church in Sacramento, California...This is what you did after you asked Jesus into your heart. I remember asking my little brother if he wanted to be saved and Baptized, excited for him, I couldn't wait to tell my Grandfather, so he could do it. I never really grasp the fact that we were to go and Baptize others for God, the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. To bring souls to Jesus, making disciples. But I do recall my Grandfather having me go and ask my brother Jesse if he wanted to be saved and baptized...I'm just now realizing that he was planting a seed in me!!( I wonder if he did it on purpose?)Never taking anything from God~God always gets all the Glory!!!

Today I commit to encouraging other to be Baptized, to publicly announce that they are a follower of Jesus Christ. I ask in Jesus name to continue the work He has done in me, to let me walk and talk for His purpose only...Bringing souls to Him so He can do a greater work than what He has done in me.AMEN.
