Scripture:
Luke 3:7-18
Pastor: Good morning, everyone! Let’s say good morning to our friend
Sammy and see if she is there. 1, 2, 3 GOOD MORNING SAMMY!
Sammy: Good morning, everyone! Good morning, Pastor! Pastor, I have a question. Pastor, what does it mean to be baptized?
Pastor: Why do you ask Sammy?
Sammy: Famer Luke says, John was baptizing people in the wilderness. And that someone else will come with a new baptism of holy spirit and fire.
Pastor: Well Sammy, John was preparing the way for his cousin Jesus to come and bring the Holy Spirit to people.
Sammy: Okay, but what does it mean to be baptized? You haven’t answered my question.
Pastor: First let’s ask the boys and girls. Have you ever seen a baptism? What was it like? Wait for answers.
Sammy: Great answers everyone!
Pastor: Baptism is the coming of the Holy Spirit. It is when our bodies become the temple of the holy spirit. That’s what John is talking about when he says, “He will baptize you with the holy spirit.” Through baptism, we are a part of God’s family forever!
Sammy: And you only need to be baptized once, right pastor?
Pastor: One time is good enough for eternity.
Sammy: That is amazing Pastor. Boys and girls. Can you please pray with me? Fold your hands and bow your heads. Dear God, thank you for baptism. Thank you for choosing us to be a part of your family. And thank you for the Holy Spirit. AMEN
Sammy: Bye everyone, bye Pastor!
Pastor: Bye Sammy!
