In the adult ed class we have talked a lot about our baptismal vows. What does it mean to believe; to continue; to persevere; to resist; to proclaim; to seek and serve; to strive for justice and peace. How are we keeping the vows made at our baptism? I noticed that these vows that we have to answer to personally aim us towards a life together. They are for the benefit of the community, especially if we all act on them. Our lessons today imply that the past is gone, new ways of being together in God’s presence are what we are being prepared for. It is interesting that it is all God’s action on our behalf. It is what God has promised to do for us as a community. His promise to us whether or not we take our vows seriously. Does our behavior bring about this new reality? Or is it in the keeping of the vows we made (or were made on our behalf) that we experience the new life God promises us?
