My dear sheep. One more sleep till we gather in the presence of the Lord again. What a joy and privilege! This week we have Pastor Egimar preaching in the morning and I will be preaching in the evening. Please continue to pray that the Lord might pour forth his blessing upon the word.

Alexander Maclaren, "The principle underlying [Jesus'] baptism is the principle underlying His incarnation, His life of obedience and identification of Himself with us, and His death. ‘He also Himself likewise took part of’ whatsoever His brethren were partakers of, and therefore He was ‘numbered with the transgressors’ in that, needing no repentance, He submitted to the baptism of repentance, and cleansed the cleansing water by being plunged in it."
