Are you sure this is where you lost Jesus?
STORY
A drunk stumbled along a baptismal service on Sunday afternoon down by the river.
He proceeded to walk down into the water and stood next to the
Preacher.
The minister turned and noticed the old drunk and said, "Mister, Are you ready to find Jesus?"
The drunk looks back and says, "Yes, Preacher.
I sure am."
The minister then dunked the fellow under the water and pulled him right back up.
"Have you found Jesus?" the preacher asks.
"No, I didn’t!" says the drunk.
The preacher then dunks him under for quite a bit longer, brings him up and says, "Now, brother, have you found Jesus?"
"No, I did not Preacher."
The preacher in disgust holds the man under for at least 30 seconds this time brings him out of the water and says in a harsh tone, "Friend, are you sure you haven’t found Jesus yet?"
The old drunk wipes his eyes and says to the preacher..."Are you sure this is where he fell in?"
This morning we aren’t looking for Jesus in the water – so why do we dunk people in the water?
I take a bath and go swimming - Why is this different and what makes this important?
Matthew 3:6–17 (CSB)
6 and they were baptized by him in the Jordan River, confessing their sins.
7 When he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming to his baptism, he said to them, “Brood of vipers!
Who warned you to flee from the coming wrath?
8 Therefore produce fruit consistent with repentance.
9 And don’t presume to say to yourselves, ‘We have Abraham as our father.’
For I tell you that God is able to raise up children for Abraham from these stones.
10 The ax is already at the root of the trees.
Therefore, every tree that doesn’t produce good fruit will be cut down and thrown into the fire.
11 “I baptize you with water for repentance, but the one who is coming after me is more powerful than I.
I am not worthy to remove his sandals.
He himself will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire.
12 His winnowing shovel is in his hand, and he will clear his threshing floor and gather his wheat into the barn.
But the chaff he will burn with fire that never goes out.” 13 Then Jesus came from Galilee to John at the Jordan, to be baptized by him.
14 But John tried to stop him, saying, “I need to be baptized by you, and yet you come to me?” 15 Jesus answered him, “Allow it for now, because this is the way for us to fulfill all righteousness.”
Then John allowed him to be baptized.
