What does the Bible say about the baptism of Christ?

Answered in 4 sources

The baptism of Christ signifies His union with believers and fulfills all righteousness, as highlighted in Matthew 3:13-17.

The baptism of Christ is a profound revelation of His purpose and identity. In Matthew 3:13-17, Jesus comes to John the Baptist to be baptized, and John hesitates, feeling unworthy. However, Jesus insists that His baptism fulfills all righteousness. This act symbolizes His identification with sinners, despite His own sinlessness. Christ’s baptism is not merely a ritual; it signifies His entire redemptive work, where He took on the sins of the elect, represented His death, burial, and resurrection, and ultimately opened the heavens for all believers.
