Discovery Pathway Classes - Baptism and Spirit-Filled Living

DAY 1 OF 30

“Therefore, go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit."

Matthew 28:19

In the Great Commission, the final words of Jesus to his disciples before ascending to Heaven, he gave his followers a very clear mission. That mission included baptizing new disciples in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Baptism is an act of obedience to Jesus that every follower of Jesus should participate in. But what is the big deal? Is baptism more than just getting dunked in water? Yes! Baptism is a powerful moment in the life of every follower of Jesus.

This plan is designed to help you understand the significance of baptism in your life, and also to help you begin to grow as a disciple of Jesus by the power of the Holy Spirit.

For the next seven days, we will explore some aspects and purposes of baptism to prepare you for this life-changing moment. As you read Matthew 28 today, you will notice that some of the people who encountered the risen Jesus responded with a combination of fear, joy, and worship. Does that seem strange? Maybe you feel a similar mixture of emotions as you prepare for your baptism.

Take time today to reflect on your relationship with Jesus. How has God pursued you along the road of your life? Who shared the Good News of Jesus with you? Take time in prayer today to thank God that disciples of Jesus obeyed His Great Commission and shared the Gospel with you!
