The act of creation took place over six days, culminating in God''s rest from his work on the seventh day. Each week, therefore, serves as a reminder of God''s work of creation. The opening chapters of Genesis set the stage for our pattern of seven-day weeks.
In Remembering Your Baptism: A 40-Day Devotional, each week is made up of eight days. The eighth day is the day of our Lord''s resurrection. It is the new day of everlasting rest. In baptism, God is at work through water and his Word delivering these gifts of life, forgiveness, and salvation.
Anchored in watery Scripture accounts, this devotional dives into the comfort and promises gifted in baptism through forty unique devotions. Through devotions on creation, the flood, Jesus'' baptism, the Psalms, and more, you will be reminded of the work of Jesus given to you through the gift of Holy Baptism.
Each devotion includes an opening Scripture passage, devotion, closing prayer, and suggested Scripture reading for further reflection. Each devotion explores the work of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit in baptism. Following the forty devotions is an appendix of baptismal resources which includes prayers and baptismal questions with answers.
