Today, we baptize a little one and name him Christian. For all of you named Christian, the promises of God are held out to you. Are you weak? Sinful? Distressed? Heavy laden? Happy? Fulfilled? Doubting? Strong? Unsure? Confident? Needy? Self-sufficient?
It doesn’t matter how you feel today about God’s promises, or whether this is a good day in sanctification or a bad one. God is ever faithful and His promises are ever sure. In Christ Jesus the promises of God are always yay and amen. This day His forgiveness is for you. This day His Spirit is for you. This day, all of God’s promises are for you who are named Christian. Receive them with gratitude and joy.
