" Baptism is like a wedding. It is a covenant act, a relationship-making agreement, in which commitments are made. A couple may love one another. But feelings can go up and down. That is why marriage is so important. In a wedding two people bind themselves to one another in covenantal commitment. It provides a solid foundation to marriage. God has done the same with us. He has made a covenant. He has bound himself to us. And baptism symbolizes that commitment.

If baptism is like a wedding, then Communion is like an embrace. Communion is the reaffirmation of covenant love. Christ comes close to us to reassure us of his covenant love. He comes close to embrace us. "
