A Visible Word

Christ’s kindness to us is seen in that He has left us not only with words that we hear, but also words that we see. Israel was shown God’s covenant love as the LORD went before them in a pillar of cloud to lead them. And the new testament tells us that all Israel was baptized in that cloud, fathers, mothers, and children alike. So it is in the new covenant, baptism is a sign of God’s presence upon us, to lead, protect, and seperate us from the unvelieving world. This visible word points to the True Word Himself, who is in heaven, and in whom is all of our hope.
