About this listen

From the ancient rivers of the Jordan to the sacred waters of the Ganges, ritual ablutions have held profound significance across cultures and religions for millennia. This podcast dives deep into the evolving meaning of water washing, tracing its journey from Old Testament purity rites and Hindu purification to Christian baptism's complex interpretations. Discover how this act shifted from physical cleansing to a powerful symbol of spiritual renewal, community, and even death and resurrection, exploring both historical shifts and Jesus' unique perspective. Finally, journey with us towards a new, Christocentric understanding that reframes baptism as a symbolic immersion into the boundless ocean of Christ's love and truth, foreshadowing an eternal unity.
