The Name Buried in the Water | Cozy Afternoon Walk: Romans (S1), Ep.17

Welcome to Cozy Afternoon Walk — a short pause in your day to sit with Scripture, one verse at a time.Today's passage: Romans 6:3-4"We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life." (NIV)Baptism can look like a quick ritual — water on the head, and then you come back up. But Paul says something bigger happened in that moment: someone inside you was actually buried. Not symbolically — joined to Christ's death and Christ's life for real. The trouble is, we often walk back to a grave that's already closed, calling up old failures and old shame as if they still had a claim on us. This episode is an invitation to stop reopening that grave, and instead walk today under the new name we were raised to carry.This episode is part of our season through Romans. New devotionals added regularly.This content was carefully selected and prepared by M.Div. students and faculty.
