BAPTISMAL REMEMBRANCE Pastor: In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. People: Amen. Pastor: With the washing of water and these words, God called us out of darkness into His marvelous light, forgave our sins, and made us members of His family. Hear the Word of the Lord concerning Holy Baptism. BAPTISMAL READING Romans 6:3-11 (All of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into His death.) All: Don't you know that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life. If we have been united with him like this in his death, we will certainly also be united with him in his resurrection. For we know that our old self was crucified with him so that the body of sin might be done away with, that we should no longer be 3 slaves to sin–because anyone who has died has been freed from sin. Now if we died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him. For we know that since Christ was raised from the dead, he cannot die again; death no longer has mastery over him. The death he died, he died to sin once for all; but the life he lives, he lives to God. In the same way, count yourselves dead to sin but alive to God in Christ Jesus. Pastor: In Holy Baptism our sins are forgiven and we are granted a new life in Christ, our Lord. We solemnly renounce the devil and all his works and all his ways; we confess the gift of faith in God the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. I ask you, as a reaffirmation of what God has done for you in your baptism, do you renounce the devil and all his works and all his ways? People: I do renounce them. Pastor: Do you believe in God, the Father Almighty? People: Yes, I believe in God, the Father Almighty, maker of heaven and earth. Pastor: Do you believe in Jesus Christ, His only Son? People: Yes, I believe in Jesus Christ His only Son, our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried. He descended into hell. The third day He rose again from the dead. He ascended into heaven, and sits at the right hand of God, the Father Almighty. From thence He will come to judge the living and the dead. Pastor: Do you believe in the Holy Spirit? People: Yes, I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy Christian Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins; the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen. Pastor: Is it your earnest intention to continue steadfast in this faith and in the promise of your Baptism, and as a member of the Church, to be diligent in the use of the means of grace and prayer? People: Yes, with the help of God. 4 Pastor: Almighty God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has given you the new birth of water and of the Spirit and has forgiven you all your sins, strengthen you with His grace to life everlasting. People: Amen. [Please be seated] HYMN OF PRAISE “Arise, Your Light is Come!” (WR231) vs 1,4 Arise, your light is come! The Spirit’s call obey; Show forth the glory of your God which shines on you today. Arise, your light is come! The mountains burst in song! Rise up like eagles on the wing, God’s power will make us strong. PRAYER OF THE DAY Pastor: The Lord be with you. People: And also with you. Pastor: Let us pray. People: Father in heaven, at the baptism of Jesus in the Jordan River You proclaimed Him Your beloved Son and anointed Him with the Holy Spirit. Make all who are baptized in His name faithful to their calling as Your children and heirs with Him of everlasting life; through the same Jesus Christ, our Lord, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen. THE WORD OLD TESTAMENT Isaiah 42:1-9 Reader: The Old Testament Reading for the Baptism of Our Lord is from Isaiah chapter 42. Behold my servant, whom I uphold, my chosen, in whom my soul delights; I have put my Spirit upon him; he will bring forth justice to the nations. He will not cry aloud or lift up his voice, or make it heard in the street; a bruised reed he will not break, and a faintly burning wick he will not quench; he will faithfully bring forth justice. He will not grow faint or be discouraged till he has established justice in the earth; and the coastlands wait for his law. Thus says God, the LORD, who 5 created the heavens and stretched them out, who spread out the earth and what comes from it, who gives breath to the people on it and spirit to those who walk in it: “I am the LORD; I have called you in righteousness; I will take you by the hand and keep you; I will give you as a covenant for the people, a light for the nations, to open the eyes that are blind, to bring out the prisoners from the dungeon, from the prison those who sit in darkness. I am the LORD; that is my name; my glory I give to no other, nor my praise to carved idols. Behold, the former things have come to pass, and new things I now declare; before they spring forth I tell you of them.” Reader: This is the Word of the Lord. People: Thanks be to God. PSALM Psalm 29 Reader: We read responsively from Psalm 29. Reader: Ascribe to the LORD, O heavenly beings, ascribe to the LORD glory and strength. People: Ascribe to the LORD the glory due his name; worship the LORD in the splendor of holiness. Reader: The voice of the LORD is over the waters; the God of glory thunders, the LORD, over many waters. People: The voice of the LORD is powerful; the voice of the LORD is full of majesty. Reader: The voice of the LORD breaks the cedars; the LORD breaks the cedars of Lebanon. People: He makes Lebanon to skip like a calf, and Sirion like a young wild ox. Reader: The voice of the LORD flashes forth flames of fire. People: The voice of the LORD shakes the wilderness; the LORD shakes the wilderness of Kadesh. 6 Reader: The voice of the LORD makes the deer give birth and strips the forests bare, and in his temple all cry, “Glory!” People: The LORD sits enthroned over the flood; the LORD sits enthroned as king forever. Reader: May the LORD give strength to his people! People: May the LORD bless his people with peace! EPISTLE Romans 6:1-11 Reader: The Epistle is from the 6th chapter of Romans. What shall we say then? Are we to continue in sin that grace may abound? By no means! How can we who died to sin still live in it? Do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? We were buried therefore with him by baptism into death, in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, we too might walk in newness of life.
