Jesus gave a simple instruction, “Follow me.” Two words, without much explanation and yet those words have set the course for the church, for generation upon generation of Christians to do one of two things: get it right or get it wrong.
Every person who has been baptized – regardless if you were sprinkled, poured over, or dunked – every person who has been baptized into a new life in Jesus Christ has been baptized into Hope. Hope that can only come from the One Hope of the World.
