We rejoice in the baby dedication ceremony to the youngest members of our community. Although, a dedication ceremony is not a requirement, it is a nice reminder of the importance of dedicating our lives unto the Lord.
Here is the “hard part”. To dedicate, parents must educate. The Hebrew words for dedication and education are from the same grammatical root. Parents may dedicate their children this Sunday, but the real dedication only now begins. The parents and we as a community now need to educate our children.
Let this Sunday be a reminder to us all that to be a dedicated follower of Jesus, we need to be educated in His Word, His Ways and His Love.
“The heart of the discerning acquires knowledge, for the ears of the wise seek it out.” Proverbs 18:15
