If you go to Israel and explore the ancient sites where Jesus lived, you'll discover the biblical practice of ritual bathing, where men and women cleansed themselves of physical dirt and spiritual impurities. Jesus and his disciples preached repentance and encouraged baptism as a symbol of spiritual renewal. In the Great Commission, Jesus commanded His disciples to spread His teachings to all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. This call to discipleship resonates with us today, urging us to live out our faith boldly and inspire our family and friends to follow without hesitation or shame. Let us embrace this mission with courage, reflecting the light of Christ in all we do.
