Baptism is not merely a practice in which we follow in Christ’s footsteps. Yes, He was baptized, and we, too, are baptized. But this is more than a matter of doing what Jesus did. Baptism is a sign of one’s ingrafting into Christ. It is a sign of what God Himself has done to us. The covenant child is not an outsider but has truly been grafted into the Lord Jesus. That is a cause for great joy because in the Lord Jesus is where all of the promises of God are yes and amen.
