In this blog we go step by step through the chapters rememberign the big picture and look for the connection to baptism. We delve into all we know about the subject in an attempt to please the game master. time for a filler-sentence. I hope you enjoy the huge puzzle that is this analysis.
Big Picture: Without baptism, we cannot participate in the grace that comes from the resurection. While water is the most common physical meidum of baptism, any baptism, wether by water or not, is official and essential to our spiritual journey. Almost all holy actions that disciples everywhere perform, could be considered a baptism if they do not recieve a physical one. In the first chapter we encountered origional sin, and through baptism the stain of which is removed. through the baptism we send out satan, and enter God's kinngdom set up in the Old Testament covanents covered In chapter two. In chapter three jesus set an example for us to follow one of which was baptism. Christ saved us by sanctifying the practice of baptism as we learned in chapter four. In chapter five we realize that through baptism we become one leap closer to christ.
