Ch6-2_The True Meaning of Jesus’ Baptism (Romans 6:1-8)

What does baptism mean?

We call John, who baptized Jesus, John the Baptist. Then what does baptism mean? “Baptism” is “βάφτισμα” in Greek. It means, “being immersed.” And the most important meaning of baptism is “taking away sin and death.”
The phrase “being immersed” implies death. All the sins of the world were transferred to Jesus when John the Baptist baptized Him, and thus He took them all away and died on the Cross to pay the wages of all our sins. Jesus died in our place. Death means the result of sin because “the wages of sin is death” (Romans 6:23).
Baptism also means, “being washed.” All our sins were washed away without leaving even a bit of sin because Jesus took all the sins of the world on His flesh through His baptism. All sins in the hearts of human beings were washed away because they were passed onto Jesus through the baptism.
