Baptism & Discipleship
We’ve considered baptism in light of salvation (two weeks ago) and the covenant (last week). This week we’ll consider it in light of discipleship – learning and following Jesus, growing in maturity, and multiplying in numbers. Adults are disciples because they choose to follow Jesus and children are disciples because their parents teach and model Jesus. Neither are finished products; both are works-in-progress. And baptism is not a final touch, but a mark of this identity and purpose, which the church shares together.
