What Can Naaman’s Story Teach Us About Baptism?

🚿 **What Can Naaman’s Story Teach Us About Baptism?** 🙌

Naaman, a powerful commander, had leprosy that isolated him and made him desperate for healing. 😔

When he sought help from the prophet Elisha, he expected a grand, dramatic display. 🎭

Instead, Elisha told him to wash in the Jordan River 7 times. 🌊

Naaman almost walked away in anger, but he eventually obeyed and was healed! 💫

💧 Baptism might seem simple—a few words and a splash of water.

But behind that simple act, God is doing something **incredible**. ✨

In baptism, we’re washed clean of our sins, joined to Christ’s death and resurrection, and made God’s children forever. 🙏

It’s not about the show—it’s about God’s powerful promise working through the water. 🌟
