World View Everlasting Miracle

Coming out of the girth of protestant evangelism. I am constantly amazed of the practices of the Lutheran Church. Every where you look there is a practice of the church which with the present of the Sacraments magnifies the presence Christ. These practices and traditions help us sinners and reminds us with our senses what Christ is doing for us. For example I was watching the current World View Everlasting Video which Pastor Fisk blessed us with a look at the baptism of his youngest child. Since attending the LCMS church I have been to many baptisms. You see many and know what is happening, yet there is that one time that it hits your and it seem you have a better understanding what is really happening to the child in the waters of baptism. Every baptism I have ever been too the child is dressed in a white robe to represent the gift of Christ blood shed of the Cross for all sins. Yet Pastor Fisk child wore a black robe. The instant we are born we are wearing that dirty, filthy, black robe of sin. That black robe showed the true colors of all our hearts before the washing of Christ blood.  As the waters of Baptism flows over, The Holy Spirit takes the black robe away and gives it to the Man that has a Pure, Holy, and Sinless robe which freely give to cover us up in righteousness. That blackness of that robe should be a constant reminder to us of the scars Jesus Christ carries freely for all of us so we can be righteous in God eyes.
