"Baptism: Draw the Circle Wide" (Acts 10:34-43, Matthew 3:13-17)
Rev. Dr. Marjorie E. Nunes, January 8, 2017Part of the Sunday series, preached at a Sunday service
We Draw the Circle Too Small. Roy Lloyd, a Lutheran minister, once interviewed Mother Teresa. He said that one of his questions and one of her answers stands out in his mind as "a bright sun burning in my mind." He asked her, "What's the biggest problem in the world today?" And she answered, without hesitation, "The biggest problem in the world today is that we draw the circle of our family too small. But through Baptism, Jesus “Drew the Circle Wide!” “Then Peter began to speak to them: ‘I truly understand that God shows no partiality, but in every nation anyone who fears him and does what is right is acceptable to him.”
