The Light of the World Grows in Colombia
As part of the celebrations of the Holy Convocation, one of the holy sacraments of The Light of the World was held: Baptism Ceremony. This act is essential for salvation, as commanded by our Lord Jesus Christ.
The ceremony involves the full immersion of each person in water, thereby fulfilling the divine commandment: “‘Therefore we were buried with Him through baptism into death, that just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.’ (Romans 6:4).
Dozens of people of various ages, races, and social conditions voluntarily, and after deep reflection, made known their decision to be baptized in water in name of Jesus Christ.
The candidates, in an atmosphere of fervor and solemnity, raised their hands as a sign of acceptance and commitment to follow Christ.
The baptismal ceremony marks the beginning of a new spiritual life and is therefore considered the first step of in following the footsteps of Jesus Christ. With songs and prayers, the congregation expressed their joy and support for the newly baptized brethren. In a gesture of brotherhood, each new member was greeted with a warm embrace and with the following expression: “Welcome, brother, welcome with love!”
This act of welcome reflects the importance that The Light of the World places on the integration and support of its new members.
