Fresh Immersion
The
Jordan River stretches 70 miles between the Sea of Galilee and the Dead Sea,
and it is Israel’s eastern border. Many significant events in history took
place there. It was by the Jordan River that the Israelites renewed their
covenant with God before entering the Promised Land. It’s also where John the
Baptist called them to renew their covenant with the Lord again through
baptism.
|
They were baptized by him in the river
Jordan, confessing their sins.
Matthew 3:6
|
The
word “baptize” means “to dip” or “to immerse.” The Jews of John’s time used
baptism to signify one’s change of heart toward God. This bold move implied
that Jews did not belong to God only by virtue of their descent from Abraham,
but through a transformed life.
As you spend time in prayer and reading God’s Word, ask Him to give you a fresh immersion from the Holy Spirit. Praise your Heavenly Father that He has made you a new creation through Jesus Christ – where old thing are gone, and all things are new. Intercede also for this nation’s senators and representatives to experience a flowing river of God’s love and grace in their hearts this year, and for more American Christians to take up the call to pray for their leaders.
