Is this gonna hurt?

This past Lord's Day, Christ URC had the privilege of receiving three new families into membership: Aaron and Michelle Hasten and their son, Isaiah (pictured above), Dexter and Christyn Lo, and Chuck and Michelle Tedrick. All three families took public vows of membership and reaffirmed their faith in the Person and Work of the Lord Jesus Christ. We also had the priviledge of seeing the covenant sign of baptism applied to Isaiah...
Notice the look on Isaiah's face. He is not too sure about this whole thing, and he isn't about to leave the safety of his mom's arms!
"I promise you, Isaiah, this is not circumcision, this is baptism. We are in the new covenant."
Scroll down for more...
Isaiah: "Are you gonna stick me in there, pastor?"
Scroll down for more...
See, Isaiah, it didn't hurt a bit!
We rejoice with the Hastens that Isaiah has been included into the visible covenant community and been given the promise that as surely as water washes away dirt from the body, so too does Christ's blood wash away our sins. May the Holy Spirit work faith into Isaiah's heart to embrace that promise!
Soli Deo Gloria!
