Baptism
-
The Baptism of Jesus invites us to remember his place among us, with us, rather than the throne upon which we seek to seat him.
-
In the baptism of Jesus, we are invited into old debates about the nature of Jesus and baptism, but a bigger debate is right there.
-
The Baptism of Our Lord connects us to Jesus and Jesus to the divine—a story, not just of theological importance, but of purpose.
-
The place of baptism for Christians is not so supposed to be seen as an entrance to a club, but an invitation to a way of being.
-
We always focus on the thing. And then, when it comes, our focus needs to shift. And we aren’t always thinking about what comes next.
-
We often approach baptism like an institution obsessed only with our own rules rather than as reflecting the dream of God.
