Day 111 - should I get baptized again?

Day 111.
Drove with two staff up to Pine Flat Dam .....it's that time of the year again to film a video about baptism.
It's a bit like Christmas and Easter - every year you've got to find a new fresh way to talk about something that you've preached or taught every year.

Fortunately the incarnation, the resurrection and baptism are loaded with layer upon layer of truth and theology.

Is baptism simply declaration or is it a sign and a seal?
Is baptism just telling others you are a follower of Christ or is something sacramental happening in the mystery of how God comes to us?
Is it demonstrating salvation or is it forming the union with Christ that expresses salvation

It is all of these.
Baptism is a layered truth .....the deeper you peel the more there is.

Today was unpeeling another layer to help people .....but it was also an act of worship for me.
as i taught on film another layer of baptism, my heart at more and more for the wonder and the amazing grace of our amazing God.

You'll need to wait and see the film in May - but even although it is over 30 years since I was baptized ...I'm thinking about doing it again!
