As the Gospel of Christ’s death and resurrection invades and permeates this world, it does so primarily in this visible word. This is a sign that Christ has obtained the ancient promise given to Abraham to cleanse mankind of all his sins against God by simply receiving this great gift by faith. Of course, each one must lay hold of this promise by faith, but that is what this sign is a promise of: God washes away the sins of those who come to Christ by faith.
Thus, these parents are tasked with holding this promise with resolute faith. You all, as fellow heirs of this promise, are tasked with exemplifying this faith, and surrounding this young saint with a community of believers who really believe all the promises of God are “Yes and Amen in Christ.” And this little one is called, by the thunder of this waterfall, to believe this promise all her days, until at last she enters the heavenly reward of everlasting life with Christ.
So welcome our sister/brother to Jesus Christ…
