WEEK #5 |MAR. 6 | AT ONCE (Jared Wilkins)

Reference Texts:

· “Can anyone withhold water for baptizing these people, who have received the Holy Spirit just as we have?” And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ. Then they asked him to remain for some days. – Acts 10 verses 47-48

· And they spoke the word of the Lord to him and to all who were in his house. And he took them the same hour of the night and washed their wounds; and he was baptized at once, he and all his family. – Acts 16 verses 32-33

We know that baptism is a symbol of our proclamation of Jesus as Lord – but how did baptism show up in the Scriptures after Jesus’ death, burial and resurrection? Why did the disciples invite those who accepted the Good News to be baptized at once – and what implications does that command have in how we hear and respond to Christ’s commands in our lives?
