Sermunition Sunday #70 - The Thrill of Baptism

The thrill of baptism is that on account of Jesus, there’s no pressure at all to go it alone. Instead, the will of the Son shines on our desolation. That’s his testament. That’s his redemption. That's his promise. We’re in this with him. Whether we believe it’s true or not, even when the odds are a million to one, his will is done. We are in this with him. We’re not doing this on our own. We’re not made to go it alone, that’s why so many people are so miserable. They pass through church like lonely ghosts. They pass through your home like lonely ghosts. They pass through life as if they’re a lonely tourist, which is the worst way to pretend you’re alive when we know that there’s no life apart from Christ.
