John Baptist

Hello,

Today was the last day of the church surf with Plymouth University and we walk to the Devonport Community Baptist Church. The talk of this morning was about John Baptist and here is what we discussed.

Mark 1:1-13

John always point to Jesus and not himself, he was just the path to someone greater that would baptist you in the holy spirit and not water. Jesus turned to John  and got baptized by him which shows that this is our path as we follow Jesus. "you are my own dear son. I am pleased with you". This is like a banner in heaven to show that God in proud of us. Being Baptists is a sign of faith, salvation, repence and forgiveness.

So if your reasons for not being baptized is not your not ready or not worthy the answer to that would be that you will never be ready nor would you be worthy, but maybe it's time to listen to God's words over you and to be blessed by him and consumed by the holy spirit.

Maybe, it's time that we accept that God is there for us with what we need, forgiveness. "turn away from your sins and be baptized". Heaven is open to Jesus and therefore is open to us so we should accept him forgiveness.
