    The Need To Be Baptized

    Contributed by John Williams Iii on Mar 1, 2021
     | 2,303 views

    Jesus who was without sin, got baptized to identify with all sinners that He came to save. He was tempted just as we are. Jesus is the lamb of God who came to take away our sin (John 1:29). Jesus is the way, the truth and the life (John 14:6). Without Jesus we cannot be right with God.

    Matthew 3:13-17  Then Jesus came from Galilee to the Jordan to John, to be baptized by him.  (14)  John would have prevented him, saying, “I need to be baptized by you, and do you come to me?”  (15)  But Jesus answered him, “Let it be so now, for thus it is fitting for us ...read more

     | 5,505 views

    John the Baptist called for each of us to repent. What does that mean? How do we get turned around when we find we are on the wrong road?

    About 15 years ago, I was on my way to an orientation and open day at the seminary. I had never been to the campus before, and the freeways in California can be tricky.

    Water Is Thicker Than Blood

    Contributed by Michael Koplitz on Jun 2, 2021
     | 2,217 views

    Water is what brings Christians together. Our baptism by water makes us all family. The bonds of the branches to the vine should be stronger than blood bonds.

    The old saying that “blood is thicker than water” was being upended in this narrative. In this case, one can say that water is thicker than blood. Water is referring to the initiation rite of baptism. At that ceremony, the person being baptized with water becomes a member of the Christian family. ...read more
