When was the last time you remembered your baptism or pointed it out to a friend? It’s a question I read Tim Chester ask once, and it was one of the catalysts for our pieces at The Sheep Fold Co.

If we’re honest, we probably don’t often think of our baptism as something we should continue to remember. Yet our physical baptism is a beautiful gift from our Lord to his forgetful people.

John Calvin writes that “our faith is slender and weak, so if it be not propped up on every side, and supported…it is forthwith shaken and tossed to and fro.” And we need propping up, don’t we? Like the Israelites from long ago, we quickly forget what the Lord has done, and what he has promised through his Son. In his graciousness, God has provided the means to establish our faith by giving us physical signs of the spiritual reality that has taken place in his children.

This is why New Testament writers continued to point believers back to remember what God had done. They were washed by Christ. They were regenerated by the Holy Spirit. Through their union with Christ they passed through the waters, being buried with Christ, so that they could be raised with him to new life. 

We too, need the same reminders.

One way we wanted to remind ourselves is by creating these pieces for our own home, and we’d love to share them with you as well!
