“Baptism is an act that looks back with gratitude on what God’s grace has already accomplished, it is here and now an act of God’s grace, and it looks forward to what God’s grace will accomplish in the future….Baptism anticipates a lifetime of further and deeper experiences of God, further acts of Christian commitment, and ministries in the world.” (United Methodist Book of Worship pg. 81)
How often do you remember your baptism? What about your baptism has been meaningful as you practice your faith? If you have not been baptized what questions come up for you as you read the words above? How might the sacrament of baptism be a new beginning for you?
