Baptism is useful in drawing out this cross-covenant applicability of the sacramental signs because it is explicitly associated by Scripture with Noah and the Ark, with the Mosaic Covenant, and with the New Covenant. The lesson we ought to learn is that this biblical view of the covenants and their signs, applies not just to baptism, but to all the signs/sacraments of the covenants/promises of the Covenant/Promise.
