Baptism is the sacrament by which we are washed of sin, joined to Christ's death and resurrection, and reborn as children of God. Following Jesus' own baptism in the Jordan, it marks the beginning of new life in the Spirit. This theme reminds us that our Christian journey starts in water and grace.
