Dear Brothers and Sisters,
I would like to share a few words with you on my thoughts on this very Special
day of my Baptism.
It is stated in
"Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends."
This simply means the greatest act of love is to sacrifice one's life for the ones
he loves.
Therefore, I acknowledge our Lord, Jesus Christ's love for us by shedding his
blood and ultimately dying on the cross for our sins as the supreme offering.
I too want to show my love for our Lord by being baptized into his death and
therefore buried with him through baptism and just as Christ was raised from
the dead through the glory of the Father, I then may live a new life as one who
have died to sin.
Hence, by being united with our Lord Jesus Christ in death, it is certain that we
will also be united with him in resurrection and ascend to the Kingdom of God.
Lastly, I pray that the Holy Spirit which is the greatest gift from God will guide
me in my new life and assure my obedience to God our Father. Amen.
