The reading from the prophet Isaiah speaks about how God's Word goes forth and accomplishes His purposes.
Since Jesus is the Word Made Flesh, we see that He goes forth resolutely to accomplish God's will, even going so far as to undergo a baptism of repentance to identify Himself with sinners, to bring God close to us, so we could come close to Him, becoming His children.
Jesus pleased the Father by fulfilling His will through baptism. So as baptized people, we are called to fulfill God's will for us, as we come together as His Body.
