This Sunday we will be celebrating another baptism!
Paul had some words for the church in Galatia for those who are baptized.
23 Before the coming of this faith, we were held in custody under the law, locked up until the faith that was to come would be revealed. 24 So the law was our guardian until Christ came that we might be justified by faith. 25 Now that this faith has come, we are no longer under a guardian.
26 So in Christ Jesus you are all children of God through faith, 27 for all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ. 28 There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus. 29 If you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise.
Galatians 3:23-29 (NIV)
What stands out to you in this passage?
Paul uses interesting language to describe the Law of the Old Testament.
Do you think the church today embraces the words of Paul, that we are all one in Christ Jesus? If yes, what does that mean?
If not, why not?
As we celebrate Makayla’s baptism this Sunday, I invite you to think about Paul’s words and how it relates to baptism and equality in Jesus.
Let’s talk about it on Sunday…
