https://youtu.be/M5ratfQt4_g
Today we celebrate baptism. The most tangible thing we can do in this world to express our conversion to Christianity- Christians have been doing it for almost 2000 years.• Today we have people who are going to join in with them and declare that Jesus is Lord over their life• Important to note- we don’t believe that Baptism saves you- but it is a requirement of a Christian- I know that’s hard to fathom, but we serve a God who is 100%man/god• Matt 28:16 And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. 19 Go therefore[c] and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, evento the end of the age.” Amen• Title- Most Powerful Water in The World
• Why do we baptize?• First- we do it because we are commanded to do it by Jesus Christ- It was the last orders that Jesus gave to his disciples before his ascension into heaven. Matt 28:16• Second- Jesus was baptized- Matthew 3:13 Then Jesus came from Galilee to John at the Jordan to be baptized by him.• Third- It is what we see in the Biblical record- Believers at Pentecost- Acts 2:41, Converts in Samaria Acts 8:12, Ethiopian Eunuch Acts 8:38, Saul of Tsarsus Acts 9:18, Lydia Acts 16:15, Philipian Jailer acts 16:33, Believers in Corinth acts 18:8, Ephesian disciples acts 19:5
• How do we baptize?• First- “baptize” is translated from the original Greek word “baptizo”, which means to immerse.• “Baptizo” does not mean sprinkle or pour. If the Greek word “rhantizo” means sprinkled, Greek word “katacheo” means poured. But he didn’t, so “baptizo” was used, which can only mean to immerse.• You can’t be buried with Christ in baptism without being submerged• Second- We only see immersion in the Bible Mark 1:10 And immediately, coming up from the water, He saw the heavens parting and the Spirit descending upon Him like a dove.• Jesus and his disciples were always in a river or a body of water when they baptized and submerged people• Three- The historicity of the baptism comes from the Jewish Mikveh which was a ceremonial washing bath that was done through full immersion as well. The baptism is a NT application of that ceremonial washing and cleansing that Christ came to fulfill- He didn’t come to abolish the law but to fulfill it• Four- We baptize in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit in Jesus name
What does baptism do?
1. Puts the old self to death• A person cannot get in the water if they do not believe that Jesus Christ was the son of God, died for their sins, and have placed their faith in Him to forgive them of their sins• When a person gets in the water they are making a declaration to the world that the person they once were is now dead- gone in the waters of Baptism• Romans 6:3 Or do you not know that as many of us as were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into His death? 4 Therefore we were buried with Him through baptism into death, that just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.• When someone gets into the waters of baptism they are dying to themselves- they no longer want to identify with their old selves but want to walk in the newness that Christ provides• Col 3:3 For you died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God.• Colossians 2:12 buried with Him in baptism, in which you also were raised with Him through faith in the working of God, who raised Him from the dead.• This idea of dying to self in the waters of baptism is eternally significant• You cannot be a Christian and live for yourself.
