Baptism.
"Just a little water,"
you might say.
Baptism
Just sopping wet for a few minutes."
What's the big deal?
So, let's say it's just water.
But life would not exist without water.
When NASA goes looking for
life on other planets
they look first for water.
Dehydration is a serious condition.
Water is life.
Our bodies are 70% water.
Water cleanses, is home to a host of living things.
Water/moisture makes food edible,
puts out fires and facilitates play.
So, It's just water, we use in baptism.
One of the essential elements
for life.
And when Jesus allowed John
to lower him into the water
to be baptized, he said,
"These are living waters."
To find a new life
and be forgiven for the old one,
Jesus was saying to all humanity,
"Come on in, the water's fine."
Moving to the deeper places,
