Blake's Baptism and Easter

For to you is the promise, and to your children, and to all
that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call
unto him. And I will establish my covenant between me and thee
and thy seed after thee throughout their generations for an
everlasting covenant, to be a God unto thee and to thy seed after
thee. Believe on the Lord Jesus, and thou shalt be saved, thou
and thy house. (Acts 2:39; Gen. 17:7; Acts 16:31)


This Easter morning we had the privilege of having Blake baptized. Don and Delores were able to come up for this very joyous occasion and our preacher asked Pete and me the following questions.

1. Do you acknowledge your child’s need of the cleansing blood
of Jesus Christ, and the renewing grace of the Holy Spirit? ---Yes
2. Do you claim God’s covenant promises in (his) behalf, and do
you look in faith to the Lord Jesus Christ for (his) salvation,
as you do for your own? ---Yes
3. Do you now unreservedly dedicate your child to God, and
promise, in humble reliance upon divine grace, that you will
endeavor to set before (him) a godly example, that you will
pray with and for (him), that you will teach (him) the
doctrines of our holy religion, and that you will strive, by all
the means of God’s appointment, to bring (him) up in the
nurture and admonition of the Lord?
---Yes

After church we had a baptism/Easter celebratory lunch at our house.
