Now I have a totally different question. When you get tied together in a three-legged race you are saying that the two of you will go together until the end of the race. And when you are in a three-legged race, you have to hang onto each other. You can't act separately or you won't be able to move. If you hold onto each other it is easier.
Baptism is like a three legged race.
God promises to be with us always - for our whole lives. At our baptism God promises to always be with us - he ties himself to us follow him. Then Jesus came from Galilee to John at the Jordan, to be baptized by him. Then he consented. We started off the service with a call to worship in which we recalled the essential message of God to us - the story of Jesus and how forgiveness and salvation come through his name.
