Baptizing & Teaching

By speaking of baptism in the context of the divine imperitives, Jesus confirms the essence of the gospel. A holy God not only commands holiness, but He also supplies it. Baptism signifies the wonderful work of Christ shedding His own blood to cleanse us from our sin. By blood He washes us from the guilt of failing to keep His commands. Disciples who carry the message of baptism while proclaiming the holy standards of God communicate the essence of grace.
