Wearing Jesus

Dusk was setting in when I took this photo while waiting for our orders. Oamaruvians know where this is.

We can see darkness enveloping at the background as the last burst of sunlight brightened the street across us. The photo creates a contrast between darkness and light.

Romans 13:12-14 gives a strong reminder about casting off the darkness’ works and how we can survive its evils by wearing the Lord Jesus Christ.

The night is far gone; the day is at hand. So then let us cast off the works of darkness and put on the armour of light. Let us walk properly as in the daytime, not in orgies and drunkenness, not in sexual immorality and sensuality, not in quarrelling and jealousy. But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to gratify its desires.

Romans 13:12-14

Believer’s Baptism Campaign

Why should we be baptised? Because the Lord Jesus commanded it. Jesus replied, “Let it be so now; it is proper for us to do this to fulfill all righteousness.” (Matthew 3:15)

The Oamaru Baptist Church believes that the immersion of believers as the only scriptural form of baptism.

Our Youth Group had been studying Baptism. I conducted one adult Baptism enquiry class.

Please approach Jonan and Bevan if you want to follow Christ’s through the Baptism.
