Matthew 3:15 Jesus replied, ‘Let it be so now; it is proper for us to do this to fulfil all righteousness.’ Then John consented.
Sometimes we forget just how ‘human’ Jesus was. Let us never forget that He lowered Himself into the form of a man so that He could join us bodily and ultimately pay the perfect price.
When Jesus knew it was time to be baptised, He came to John the Baptist in the desert and asked John to baptise Him. There was no reason why He should do so other than as a demonstration for us to follow in His footsteps.
Christ showed us God’s ways and God’s will during His time on earth; let us follow Him with everything.
