Why Did Jesus Need to be Baptized? (Matthew 3:13-17)

A daily, short-form, verse-by-verse Bible study hosted by Pr. Will Weedon.

Jesus was baptized because:-
1. He was showing us what we should do.
2. This was God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit all together.
3. He was showing us what was going to happen to him. He was showing himself dying - when he went under the water, buried - when he was under the water and rising again - when he came back up.

Did those who were baptized through John’s baptism really have their sins forgiven?

and were they really regenerated and saved?

Or was all that symbolical and only effectual after Jesus’ death and resurrection?

A cool and short way of explaining this: Jesus did it because he baptized the water, he activated the water for future baptisms.

Sound good but not sure it's correct and not 100% the reason why Jesus was

[OneWayRay_]

Jesus came up from the water.
According to scripture He was not sprinkled.

Why do Christian always redefine what the book said? The verse told you that heaven opened onto him, and you are here saying that he is heaven. And this verse clearly proves that he is the son of God and not God himself. This verse also proves that Christianity is not a Monotheistic religion. It wouldn't be, if you consider the son of God to be God also.

When you assert something biblical your should back it up with the bible....it's missing here so it becomes an opinion.
