Leading up to yesterday at @c4churchdurham we were planning on baptizing 16 people and that would have been a huge celebration of Jesus and his amazing work in the lives of 16 people in our church. And then things changed. By the time it was over we had baptized 37 - THIRTY SEVEN!! - people in our three morning services and at @youngadultsofc4. 37 people raised to life in Christ and declaring that they are all in for Jesus for the rest of their days. 37 times to display the life, death, burial and resurrection of Jesus in front of our church family. 37 opportunities for every person in attendance yesterday to be reminded of the grace, mercy and goodness of Jesus. People taught to follow Jesus by faithful parents, people who had been rescued from despair, people who were compelled to literally turn their car around and drive back to church to be baptized. Only Jesus does this. Only Jesus. And I'm beyond grateful he's doing it at churches all across our country, all around the world and even here at C4. Only Jesus.
