Our identity in Christ

This week we heard the Great Commission (Matthew 28:16-20).  Before we get to the "going and making disciples", we need to hear the words from Jesus regarding Baptism.  In our Baptism, we receive God's name (Father, Son and Holy Spirit).  In Baptism, thus, we learn who we are, namely, children of God.  This is the identity that motivates and makes possible spreading the Good News of Jesus Christ around the world.
