Grant
that all
who are
baptized
into Christ’s
Name may keep
the covenant they have made_____________
Jesus came to lead us through the waters of life and death into life eternal… It has never been his style to shout directions to us from a safe distance of his own. He has always led us from within our midst… He who is without sin was baptized in the river Jordan to avoid the sin of standing apart from us. He is a servant and our Lord and he never asks us to go anywhere he has not been. From Barbara Brown Taylor‘s: Mixed Blessings
