A Different Kind of Baptism

In this Sunday's lesson we talked about Jesus being baptized by John the Baptist.

Jesus baptism was very different than other baptisms.  

No baptism that has happened at EBC has ended with the heavens opening up, a dove flying down and God's voice saying how pleased He is with the person.  

When we have a baptism at EBC, the person talks about the great work God has done in his or her lives.  Their testimony involves their sin, God's great salvation through Jesus Christ and the new life we have in Christ.  

Jesus had no sin that he needed to repent of.
Jesus did not need a Savior.

Jesus' actions and God's response affirmed who Jesus was.

Take time to share your testimony with your children.
