Go Deeper

To be baptized “in the name” of another person is to receive the essence of that person’s identity. When we are baptized in the name of the Father, we become sons and daughters in his family. When we are baptized in the name of the Son, the Servant King, we become servants of one another. When we are baptized in the name of the Holy Spirit, the Ambassador sent to represent God’s kingdom to the world, we become ambassadors of the kingdom. What does Jesus’ teaching and example in this story show us about what it means to live out our new identity?
