Your baptism is a direct connection with your Savior Jesus. The water went on him, and with it went every one of your sins to be punished and paid for on the cross. The water went on you, and with it came his perfect life – wrapped around you and covering you like a perfect garment.

This is the only story from Jesus’ childhood that was recorded in the Bible. And you can see why! Like the sun breaking through the clouds, Jesus’ true identity started shining through. Mary and Joseph remembered, “This is the promised Son of God, who has come to save the world from sin!” And then just like that the moment was over and Jesus obediently walked over to his parents and said “Let’s go home.”

We live thousands of years later, halfway across the world, and speak an entirely different language than the culture in which Jesus was born. LIke the wise men, we’re all “unlikely believers…” But God reached out and found us, because he will go to crazy lengths to share the Savior with the entire world.
