Unlocking the Meaning of Baptizing - The Great Commission? (pt. 4)
Fig Tree Ministries In the Greek language, the word "baptize" takes on a fascinating range of meanings, from a short-term "to dip" to a more extended "to dye" as in coloring clothing. But the truest sense of its meaning lies within the context.
Within the New Testament, baptize or baptism can mean to dip (short-term) or to dye, as in clothing (long-term).
Within the context of the long-term process of making a disciple, it appears that the 'baptizing' we find in Matthew 28:19 should be interpreted on the longer-term end of the scale.
An example of this can be found within Greek literature and has to do with pickling a vegetable. Pickling involves the immersion – baptism- into an agent that permanently changes the vegetable. What was once a cucumber is not a pickle.
This is the essence of Baptizing when it comes to making a disciple. The agent of change is the 'reality of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.'
When we immerse an individual in the long-term process of becoming a disciple, the result is a permanent change that cannot be undone.
Join us in this lesson as we explore the profound meaning of the word Baptizing in the context of making a disciple.
