Epiphanies | Who Am I? Whose Am I?
“Remembering Your Baptism”
January 12, 2025
Baptism of the Lord
Luke 3:15-17, 21-22
Rev. Teer Hardy
Remembering our baptism is like hearing a forgotten song from our childhood. It stirs something deep within us. It reminds us of who we truly are. It is also an invitation to discover, over time, whose we are. God’s beloved.
Jesus tells the story of the prodigal son. The son lost himself in a far-off land. One day, he “came to himself.” He remembered. “I am my father’s child. I have a home.” That memory was enough to bring him back. And when he returned home he father ran to him.
On days like today, we gather as a Church to remind one another of who we are. We remember whose we are. We come to the font as we come to the table, empty-handed. We remember that we are named. We are claimed by God.
Today, touch the water. Touch your forehead. Remember your baptism. Be thankful.
Who you are. Beloved. It flows from whose you are. God’s.
