Where Should Baptism Take Place?

"When Jesus was baptized, immediately He went up from the water, and behold, the heavens were opened to Him, and He saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and coming to rest on Him; and behold, a voice from heaven said, ‘This is My beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased.’" Matthew 3:16-17 (ESV).

Baptism is both a personal act of faith and a public declaration. Jesus’ baptism took place in a public setting in Matthew 3:13-17. Jesus instructed His disciples to baptize others as part of making disciples in Matthew 28:19. Baptism should be done in the presence of witnesses, encouraging others and affirming your faith.

Where will you be baptized, and with whom will you share this moment? If you have already been baptized, how can your story inspire others to follow Christ?

Prayer: Father God, Thank You for the privilege of publicly declaring my faith through water baptism. Please use my story to encourage others to seek You and to also follow Your commands. In Jesus name, Amen.
