A father embraces his son after his baptism. Just a couple of hours before this same father preached a sermon which called sinners to repentence.
This is why we do what we do. The overwhelming joy one experiences when a sinner comes in contact with blood of Jesus.
Reflecting on the past week, I can tell you that between the hours of 8PM and 10:30 PM on June 11th, was probably the most baptisms I had seen ever. 13. 13 souls went to church camp expecting fun and recreation and along the way became new creatures.
