In the baptismal service, we briefly return to our Gospel Worship series and consider why it is that only ministers of the gospel (pastors) should administer the sacraments. That Christ has called and ordained certain men to be stewards of the gospel mysteries found in His Word, and so, has also made them the stewards of His sacraments which are His Word made visible. We will also consider the great gospel mysteries in the Scripture that are revealed to us that we might understand how baptism portrays the washing away of our sins. 1 Corinthians 4:1.
