John Crist had a hysterical conversation about baptism with an audience member. The unexpected moment between the popular comedian and the woman in the audience will have you rolling with laughter. Watch the short but hilarious clip to see what was said about baptism that will have you laughing long after the clip ends.
Baptism is a sacred sacrament. Its a practice, an outward display of what has already happened on the inside. It signifies that the person undergoing baptism has accepted Christ into their heart and life, has turned away from their old ways and is now fully committed to following Him. Of course, its a big step in everyones faith journey and their walk with Christ.
Baptism was important enough that even Jesus Christ underwent baptism. The first book of the New Testament, Matthew, records this event. Jesus asked his cousin, John the Baptist, to baptize Him in the Sea of Galilee. Of course, as we all know, John initially balked at Christs invitation, believing himself unworthy to do so, but he eventually relented and baptized Jesus.
In a clip posted on YouTube, John, during one of his shows, mentioned that he had a question about this important, sacred sacrament. He asked a woman sitting near the front of the stage how old she was when she was baptized. What followed was a hysterical moment that likely no one saw coming.
The woman admitted that, having grown up Catholic, she was baptized as a very young child. However, she confessed that she has since become a Christian. Of course, that comment is likely to ruffle the feathers of many Catholics, because, you know, they are Christians, too.
However, that was not the funniest part of the exchange. Eventually, the womans husband got involved, and John offered them a little advice.
Hye, listen, when you get up to the gate, work this story out, OK? he said. This is bad. Theres a long line of people, I dont know what happened, OK. My dad took me there, but, like, I was Catholic. Work it out. Its got to me more. Its got to be a faster story.
Matthew 28:19 Go then, and make disciples of all the nations, giving them baptism in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.
