Listen "God Hears Our Voice (a sermon for Proper 21B 2021)"
Episode Synopsis
We’re about to baptize two babies. Their parents and Godparents will make some promises, the whole congregation will make some promises, and then these two little babies will be baptized.
They didn’t do anything to deserve it, they don’t even yet know what it means.
But God knows what it means.
It means that they are, today, a child of God. They are, today, a sibling of all of us.
And it means they have everything they need to follow Jesus.
Sure, they’re going to grow and learn and do great things. But nothing they can learn or do will make them any more a part of God’s family. Nothing they can learn or do will ever make their voice more important to God.
