For John truly baptised with water, but ye shall be baptised with the Holy Ghost not many days.
For some of us who were baptised as infants, our water baptism pointed the way forward to the Holy Spirit. For others, we chose to be baptised as a profession of having received the Spirit. But for all of us, we embrace water baptism not because the water itself is unique but because it is a powerful symbol of the outpouring of the Holy Spirit upon us.
Lord, as we remember our baptisms, we do so with gratitude for the Holy Spirit that You freely poured out on us. As we baptise others, we ask that You would fill us anew with Your Spirit. Let us not lose sight of where our power comes from so that we may live by Your power each day, to the glory of Your name. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
