“WHATBAPTISM
IS!”
There are things only
Jesus can do!
John 14:12
“Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and
greater works than these he will do,
because I go to My Father.”
Ever feed 5,000 with a few loaves of
bread and fish?
Ever turn water into wine?
Ever walk on water?
Ever raise someone from
the dead?
But there is one thing that Jesus did that you can
do!
You can be baptized like Jesus was!
Matthew 3:7-15
7 “But when he saw many of the
Pharisees and Sadducees coming to his baptism, he said to them, 'Brood of
vipers! Who warned you to flee from the
wrath to come?
8 Therefore bear fruits worthy of
repentance, 9 and do not think to say to
yourselves, ‘We have Abraham as our
father.’ For I say to you that God is able to raise up children
to Abraham…
…from these stones. 10 And even now the ax is laid to the root
of the trees. Therefore every tree which does not bear
good fruit is cut down and thrown
into the fire.
11 I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance, but He who is coming after
me is mightier than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry. He will baptize you…
…with the Holy Spirit and fire. 12 His
winnowing fan is in His hand, and He will thoroughly clean out His threshing floor,
and gather His wheat into the barn;
…but He will burn up the chaff with
unquenchable fire.’ 13 Then Jesus came from Galilee to John at the Jordan to be baptized by him. 14
And John tried to prevent Him, saying,
‘I need to be baptized…
…by You, and are You coming to me?’
15 But Jesus answered and said to him, ‘Permit it to be so now, for thus it is fitting for us to fulfill all righteousness.’ Then he allowed
Him.”
You can be baptized like Jesus was!
His baptism marked the
beginning of His public ministry!
A Professionof Faith!
Mark 16:16
“He who believes and is baptized
will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned.”
Ephesians 2:12
“...that at that time you were without Christ,
being aliens from the
commonwealth of Israel and
strangers…
Ephesians 2:12
“...from the covenants of
promise, having no hope and
without God in the world.”
It is an Entryinto Covenant!
An Illustration of Jesus in Us!
1 Corinthians 15:3-4
“For I delivered to you first of all that
which I also received: that
Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures…
1 Corinthians 15:3-4
“…and that He was buried, and
that He rose again the third day
according to the Scriptures.”
It isA Sign of
Transformation!
A Demonstratio
n of Obedience!
Matthew 28:18-20
“And Jesus came and spoke to
them, saying, “All authority has been
given to Me in heaven and on
earth. Go therefore…
…and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them…
…to observe all things that I have commanded you.”
It is an Act of Submission!
Baptismbecomes a
Symbol of all that Christ does in our life when
we Trust Him as our Savior and
Lord!
