It had been a long Saturday. The whole afternoon I had participated in that baptism course and then, after a short pause, visited the evening assembly. It was 11 o`clock p.m, when I left Jesushouse and rode home with my bike.
Nevertheless, it had been a good time. My last doubts had gone. The Elder of the course had made clear, that adult baptism was corresponding with the Scripture. More than that! The last order of Jesus on earth.
18 Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19 Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you.
(Matthew 28 - taken from the New International Bible)
We all, three men and four women between 16 – 65 years-of-age, had nodded approvingly.
When I opened the door of my home I felt totally tired and my head ached. And I had only one deep desire: Sleep! The next day would become hard again. First ,from 9 to 12 o`clock a.m, the morning assembly and then in the afternoon the baptism in the Grevenbroich church.
I drove away all my worried thoughts according to the next day and laid down in bed. A minute later I fell asleep.
