Lesson on the 13th--Rochelle Lunt--Chapter 13, Baptism

I have mentioned it before, but we are so blessed to have such great teachers in Relief Society!!  It's also interesting to me that we have probably had numerous lessons, talks and articles on Baptism but each time we discuss these topics I learn something new.  I hope you do the same. 

"Baptism is literally...a transplanting, or resurrection from one life to another---the life of sin to the life of spiritual life."

 

One of the things that stood out to me is this:

(1)  It is in the similitude of the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ, and of all others who recieved the resurrection.

(2)  Baptism is also a birth and in the similitude of the birth of a child into this word.

 

Little children who have not reached the years of accountability do not need baptism because they are redeemed through the Atonement of Jesus Christ.

We make COVENANTS when we are baptized.  And we are able to renew those covenants each time we partake of the Sacrament.  What a great blessing. 

Great lesson.  Thanks for being there.  We love seeing you each Sunday.  We worry about you if you're not there.  Thank you Rochelle.
