About This Book

The sermon advocates infant baptism as a scriptural, affectionate practice and emphasizes the pastor’s joy in dedicating children to God. Drawing on the scene of children brought to Jesus, it stresses Christ’s care for infants and the continuity of child inclusion from covenant signs to the Christian sacrament. It treats baptism as a sign of promised spiritual blessing that requires parental and pastoral discipleship, linking baptized households to church membership and domestic piety. Delivered on the occasion of a royal infant’s baptism, it calls for earnest parental responsibility and prayerful formation rather than debating the mode of administration.
