According to the Bible, baptism is fundamentally a physical sign of a spiritual reality. Matthew 28:18-20 indicates that it is for believers only, the initial step of obedience in our new life of discipleship to Christ. Romans 6:1-4 is even more specific, indicating that baptism symbolizes our death and burial with Christ as our representative head, and our spiritual resurrection with Him from the symbolic grave. Colossians 2:11-13 indicates even more specifically still that baptism is the physical representation of the spiritual circumcision of our hearts (Mark Dever and Paul Alexander).

INSTRUCTIONS

VANILLA SAUCE
*Plus 1-2 tablespoons more for buttering mold
In a large bowl combine persimmon puree, sugar, egg and butter and beat
until smooth (an electric mixer really helps!). Sift flour, cinnamon and
baking soda together and stir into persimmon mixture along with the milk
and raisins. Turn batter into a well buttered 1 quart steamed pudding mold
and cover tightly with a lid or heavy foil secured with kitchen string.
Place mold on a rack in a kettle with a tight fitting lid. Pour hot water
into kettle to reach 2/3 of the way up the sides of the mold and steam
pudding covered for 2 hours over moderate heat. Remove pudding to a rack
for 15 minutes. Invert onto a serving plate and serve with vanilla sauce.
Yield: 8 to 10 servings
VANILLA SAUCE: In a small saucepan combine sugar, cornstarch, nutmeg and
salt. Add water in a stream whisking constantly and then simmer sauce over
low heat until thickened (about 3 minutes). Off heat, whisk in butter,
vanilla and zest. Transfer to a serving bowl and serve with warm steamed
pudding.
Yield: 2 cups
