With baptism, one identifies with The Christ, mirroring His death, burial and resurrection; in this symbolic gesture of Faith, one sees a formal acknowledgment of His gift of Salvation. This practice, instituted by John the Baptist, teaches one to reflect on the sacred sacrifice- that Christ -alone- redeemed all of Humanity and that His unequaled actions will suffice as the second Adam, for our enduring redemption. Even Christ Himself, took this symbolic plunge. Was this a mere watery dunking of His flesh? Or did it prepare Him… to be able to expunge the death penalty of sin for us permanently? Therefore, I honor His act of propitiation- by the baptism of my body before witnesses, as I’m initiated today… into His Holy Nation.
