Let the Little Children Come to Me

On Wednesday evening, April 21st Luke expressed his desire to ask Jesus into his heart.  We had a sweet conversation about Jesus and how our sin separates us from Him.  When I asked Luke if he would like to ask Jesus to forgive him of his sins Luke said, "I already did that Mom; one night in my room!"  We prayed thanking Jesus for His forgiveness and love to us. 

Several months later, again on a Wednesday evening traveling to church, Luke asked, "When can I get in the water?"  That was his precious way of telling us he wanted to be baptized. 

Today, during the 11 o'clock service Luke was baptized. 

Matthew 18:2-3 reads, "He called a little child and had him stand among them. And he said, 'I tell you the truth, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.' "

I love that Jesus simply asks us to come and believe.  We don't have to have full understanding of faith, theology, scripture, etc.  We just have to come believing and trusting Him.  I'm so incredibly grateful that Luke has come to know Jesus at a young age.  Now he can spend the rest of his life walking and growing in relationship with Him. 

Pastor Drew asked Luke, "Who is Jesus to you?"  Luke's answer, "my Savior." 

I wish all of our family could have been here with us to celebrate Luke's public profession of faith.  I'm grateful that now we will have all eternity to celebrate together!
