Baptizing the Boys


Baptizing the Boys
Originally uploaded by Jerod McPherson.
Last Night the boys were baptized. They came to us and told us that they wanted to. So after a couple of discussions we felt like they were ready. As one of the perks of pastoring, Winfield (my father-in-law, the boys' Pa) asked me if I wanted to baptize them myself.

Winfield and I dunked them together and it was a very moving time. I read the song of Zechariah over them again and we all felt the deep meaning of the symbolism.

"And you, my little son, will be called the prophet of the Most High, because you will prepare the way for the Lord. You will tell His people how to find salvation through the forgiveness of their sins." Luke 1:76,77
