Mt 12: 46-50: Passage through the red
sea inaugurated the beginning of the people of God. Our baptism is also the
beginning of a process of our maturing in the Lord. The truly significant bonds
that join people are not biological but spiritual: the shared experiences of
school, seminary, political campaigns, joy, sorrow and deliverance. Jesus tells
us that those who listen to and keep his word are his brothers and sisters in a
new family that knit together by the Holy Spirit. We all have experienced
deliverance through baptism.
