Washed Away

I had the great privilege of baptizing my wife and my son today...
Imagine watching the face of someone you love as the water rushes in over them, sealing them off from the world, representing Jesus as he was buried.... Then imagine that beautiful cleansing, the sin washed away, as they once again break the surface and fill their lungs in remembrance of His resurrection, His gift to all mankind.
There simply aren't words to describe how deep and high and wide that joy reaches into my heart, and it's something I'll take with me and be thankful for...all the rest of my life.
