THE BAPTISM OF JESUS BY STEVE FINNELL

Why was Jesus baptized in water by John?

Matthew 3:13-17 Then Jesus arrived from Galilee at the Jordan coming to John, to be baptized by him. 14 But John tried to prevent Him, saying "I have need to be baptized by You, and do You come to me?" 15 But Jesus answering said to him, "Permit it at this time; for this way it is fitting for us to fulfill all righteousness.".....

Question: Did Jesus fulfill all righteous before He was baptized in water? No He did not.

Question: Was baptism just act of obedience or was it essential to fulfill all righteous?

Question: Was Jesus baptized in water as an outward  sign that He had already fulfilled all righteous?

Question: Was the baptism of Jesus just a meaningless symbolic act?

Question: Was Jesus baptized so He could be member of  the church of John The Baptist? Of course not!

Question: Did Jesus fulfill all righteous the moment He confessed to John that He needed to be baptized in water?

Question:  Did Jesus get baptized as a testimony to the community that He has already fulfilled all righteous?

It is obvious that Jesus needed to to be baptized in water to fulfill all righteousness!

IT IS OBVIOUS THAT ALL MEN NEED TO BE BAPTIZED IN WATER IN ORDER TO PUT ON THE RIGHTEOUSNESS 
OF CHRIST. Galatians 3:27 For all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ.

JESUS WAS WITHOUT SIN, YET IT WAS ESSENTIAL FOR HIM TO BAPTIZED IN WATER!

ALL MEN HAVE SINNED, HOWEVER, MANY SAY WATER BAPTISM IS NOT ESSENTIAL FOR FORGIVENESS! Men say that, but the Bible does not say that.  

Jesus was baptized in order to fulfill all righteousness.
