What joy to celebrate our Lord's Baptism (whereby the Father consecrated all water to be a salutary flood and a rich and full washing away of sin) and behold two little ones adopted into God's family through that blessed washing. Saturday night, Ian (that's he in the picture!) and today, Wyatt were exorcised, washed, anointed and enlightened and so welcomed into the family of God through Holy Baptism. We joy to confess that all that happened to our Lord in His Baptism has become theirs: heaven is open to them, the Spirit given, and the Father owns them as His own beloved sons through faith.
