I want to live life in full color...
...He who is coming after me is mightier than I...He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire.” Matthew 3:11
Photography is a new hobby of mine. I use it to create Christian memes with inspirational quotes and Bible verses. I love for the photo’s colors to be “saturated.” In other words, to be deep, rich, and with full color. I want to live a saturated life – walking in the miraculous and glorifying Jesus. Only the Holy Spirit can cause a meat-and-potatoes, made-of-dust life to live this way.
The original Greek New Testament word for baptize in the verse above is: Baptizo – meaning to baptize, to dip, dye, immerse, plunge, submerge, inundate, flood, swamp, soak, douse, drench, and saturate.
Ponder each one of these words in the definition. Which one pings your heartstrings? Now, for me, it is saturate. To be so full I can’t absorb any more, except to be squeezed and poured out to make more room – for more.
Yeah. I want to live in the continual baptism of the Spirit – Book of Acts style – in full color for Jesus.
