BAPTISM

John's baptism-where did it come from? Was it from heave, or from men? (Matthew 21:25, NIV)

John's baptism was a baptism of repentance. He told the people to believe in the one coming after him, that is, in Jesus. (Acts 19:4, NIV)

And so John came, baptizing in the desert region and preaching a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins. (Mark 1:4, NIV)

Then Jesus came from Galilee to the Jordan to be baptized by John. (Matthew 3:13, NIV)

Jesus said to them, "You will drink the cup I drink and be baptized with the baptism I am baptized with. (Mark 10:39, NIV)

one Lord, one faith, one baptism; (Ephesians 4:5, NIV)

We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that , just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life. (Romans 6:4, NIV)

and this water symbolizes baptism that now saves you also-not the removal of dirt from the body but the pledge [Or response] of a good conscience toward God. It saves you by the resurrection of Jesus Christ. (1Peter3:21, NIV)

Prince of Peace

TODAY'S SCRIPTURE

"For unto us a child is born, unto us a Son is given; and the government will be upon His shoulder, and He will be called" Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace""
(Isaiah 9:6a)

TODAY'S WORD from Joel and Victoria

The Bible calls Jesus the Prince of Peace. That means He is the ruler of peace. He is the ultimate peace. The peace He gives to us is not the peace of the world. His peace is permanent. It never changes, and it can never be taken away from us.

It's interesting that the word "peace" literally means "to set at one again." In other words, when we are one with the Father, when we line up our thoughts, our words, and our actions with Him, we will experience His peace in our lives. Anytime you find that you don't have peace on the inside of your heart about something, an uneasiness, that's a sign that you should stop and pray and make sure you are in line with God's plan for your life. Remember, His plans are for your good. He leads you by peace and fills you with His joy. When you choose His ways, you will live in His peace and experience His hand of blessing in every area of your life.

A PRAYER FOR TODAY

"Father in heaven, thank You for filling me with Your peace. Have Your way in my heart and remove anything that displeases You. Help me to clearly hear Your voice and walk in Your ways. In Jesus’ Name, Amen."
