Did you know that in baptism we are pronounced dead? Dead to sin and, yes, dead to death. Romans 6:3,6,7 - "Don't you know that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death?" We are no longer "slaves to sin--because anyone who has died has been freed from sin." Thank you, Lord, that you give us baptism so that Jesus' death counts for us too!

Grab yourself a free copy of the monthly "Forward in Christ" from our church lobby for this and other thoughts on baptism and the Lord's Supper. And of course, have a wonderful grace-filled day :)
