We all know that Jesus Christ lived a life without sin. So why did He need to be baptized? It’s a question that many people ask. The truth is, Jesus didn’t need baptism because He had sinned,He did it to fulfill something very important.
We were told in the book of Matthew 3:13–15 John the Baptist was really surprised when Jesus came to be baptized by him.
He even tried to stop Jesus Christ from being baptized.
But Jesus told him, “Let it be so now; it is proper for us to do this to fulfill all righteousness.” So John agreed.
Even though Jesus had no sin, He showed us what to do by example. If Jesus got baptized, then we as Christians should take it seriously too.
Also, Jesus’ baptism marked the beginning of His ministry.
the Spirit of God came down like a dove while the heaven was open immediately the baptism was complete
A very clear and loud voice coming from heaven and said, “This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.”
It was at this moment that it became clear to all men that Jesus was truly sent by God.
Also,we should also note that going to church is not what baptism is all about. It is one of the true signs that we are true followers of God.
So since our lord Jesus christ was also baptized, it should be clear to us that it is not just a tradition,but should be considered meaningful and important.
The reason why our lord Jesus Christ was baptized was not to be forgiven,but to be a perfect example that we should obey God.
Since the son of God did it,we should also do it.
