ISBN: 978-0-8028-5381-3 Chapter One by At your baptism, God tells you that ... You are baptized because you belong to God and to God's family. Your baptism is a time to see and hear God's promises. For you Jesus Christ came into the world. God sent his son Jesus into the world to become human, like us, but without sin. For you he lived and showed God's love. While he lived on earth, Jesus was a healer, a teacher, a friend, and so much more. For you he suffered the darkness of Calvary and cried at the last, "It is finished." Jesus showed his great love for us by dying on the cross. The Bible tells us that Jesus' death takes away the sin of the world. For you he triumphed over death and rose in newness of life. But death was not the end. Jesus came back to life. Now we can live each day with God's power. When we die, we can live with God forever. For you he ascended to reign at God's right hand. When Jesus left earth, he returned to heaven. He talks to God the Father about us and sent the Holy Spirit to be with us all the time. All this he did for you, before you knew anything of it. Jesus lived, died, and rose for us because he loves us. We don't have to do anything to earn his love. And so the Word of Scripture is fulfilled: "We love because God loved us first." We see God's love for us through Jesus. Jesus shows us how to love so that we can love God and other people. (Continues...) Excerpted from At Your Baptismby Carrie Steenwyk John D.
