Icebreaker:
How do you prepare for Easter?
What Easter activities will you participate in this week?
Overview:
As believers, the day we are baptized stands out in our
memories. For some of us baptism happens immediately; for others it comes
later. Sometimes the delay is due to a lack of available water as was the case
for me. Our church did not have a baptistery back in the early 1960’s when I
needed it. We had an agreement to use the baptistery at New Hope Baptist down
the street. I don’t remember the date, but I remember the day. Jesus’ baptism
was a big day as well. It was the public proclamation of who He was – The Lamb
of God who takes away the sin of the world!
Discussion:
Read Matthew 3:13-17 and John 1:29-34.
