Through baptism, God has called us out of darkness into his light. The baptismal candle reminds us that we are a light to the world because Christ is THE light to the world.

When our pastors hand off baptismal candles to those who have been baptized. They say something like
"Let your light shine before all people so that that may know your God works and glorify your Father in heaven". I know it's a bible passage but don't know which one.

1. Jesus (Christ) is the Light
2. We are created in God's image so we to are the light that shines telling other about Jesus.
3. When others see us in the light (if it winning a game, champion, intelligence, etc...),
we need to remember that our gifts and talents come from God
4. When I think about Jesus baptism, I remember God coming from the heavens and tell the people that this was his beloved son in whom he was please. Jesus is the spotlight.
5. In baptism, we are given the "spotlight" as we are presented to the congregation. From then on we have work to do.

Blest be the Tie the binds us. Smile

Thank you. You both have given me a good jumping off place. Trying to cover 30 years of Jesus' life in 24 hours is a bit of a challange, but, the 'Light that shows us the way', and, 'it's our choice and our work to do to follow the Light', is very good. Thank you, Debbie
