In obedience to the Father, Jesus came to be baptized. He didn't need to be cleansed of sin. He showed the importance of being identified as part of God's people. Furthermore, He transformed the waters of baptism so that we could rise to fullness of Life as one of God's beloved, as was confirmed when the Spirit appeared at His baptism, and the voice of God spoke.
Indeed, God Who came to be with us as a human has made the way possible for us to join in His Divine nature. Truly, God made Himself known through the birth of Christ, the visit of the Magi, and the baptism of Christ. We join in Christ's mission to make God known through living out our baptism, which forms our identity as one of God's own.
