the sacramental Baptism of Jesus. The water
baptism signifies our need for cleansing and re-
newal; sacramental baptism achieves this by a
uniting God’s grace and the new life of the
Spirit (Acts2:38). In a word, you become a
child of God - or receive Jesus as your person-
al savior, however you want to word it - at your
Baptism!
When was the first time you realized that you
had become a child of God at Baptism?What
kind of grace did this transformation take?
How do you experience
God’s grace in your daily
life?
Prayer
Dear Jesus, Thank you for new life in the sacrament of Bap-
tism. Help me to understand that I am a child of God. Help
me to know you. Comfort me with your grace. In Jesus
name I pray. Amen
