I've always understood baptism to be symbolic of following Jesus through the grave to the other side. Of dying to the life where we live for ourselves, and restarting life as a follower of the one who lives for others! Who's whole approach to life is love for all around him! But this morning I suddenly saw a little more!
I was praying that those I loved would be bathed in God's beautiful spirit, when an image flashed into my mind of a baby, nestled in the womb, bathed by the waters around him. And suddenly I saw baptism as a symbol of the rebirth Jesus was taking about! Not just a cleansing and coming forth from the "grave"! But being born again as we come up out of the waters! Isn't it awesome when you suddenly see a little more - that has been right there in front of you, but overlooked somehow till now?! ❤️
