Christ answered,“Suffer it to be so now: for thus it becomes us to fulfillall righteousness, Then he suffered him” (Matthew3:15).The Messiah did the first human work, pointing toSalvation, and that work was Baptism. By being baptized,Jesus proved, He was willing to die for the sinsof the world.

And lo a voice from heaven saying, Thisis my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased” (Matthew3:16-17).
