symbology

A while back I blogged about a children’s Christmas presentation in which a line was messed up and became much better than originally planned.

Tonight, Pastor Don didn’t “mess up”, but he attempted a funny that had layers of truth in it. He was painting a verbal picture of the symbology of baptism and said, “the good news is I don’t have to hold them under for 3 days.” Everyone laughed, and I snickered too, and said, “that IS the good news,” to the person standing beside me. “Really,” I said, “the gospel is that we don’t have to be held under for 3 days.”
Well, anyway, it IS a major part of the good news.
