Baptism is more than just a ritual — it’s a layered encounter with grace that stretches from ancient Jewish practices to the earliest Christian communities. But why do we do it? And how does it shape our faith today?

In this thoughtful reflection, we explore:

  • 🌊 The surprising roots of baptism in Jewish mikvah rituals
  • ✝️ How John the Baptist reimagined cleansing as repentance
  • 🙏 Why Jesus chose to be baptized — and what it means for us
  • 🌅 How baptism became one of the earliest Christian practice
  • 🌱 Why baptism is about more than just making a decision — it’s about participating in grace

Baptism is not just a symbol. It’s a means of grace — an invitation to step into a story much bigger than ourselves. Whether you’re preparing for baptism or looking to deepen your understanding, this message will help you see the beauty and mystery at the heart of this ancient practice.
