Remember when you were little playing in the backyard in the sprinkler, and you’d run into the house your mother would shout that you’re getting water everywhere? Now, remember standing in line at the water park for that Mammoth slide soaking wet and no one batted an eye? What’s the difference? The shared experience of excitement and desire.

So it is in the church, we are all dripping wet—not from a sprinkler or slide, but the baptismal font. That shared experience of baptism is what unites the church on Earth.
