Baptism: The Step of Obedience

If Jesus never sinned, why did He let John baptize Him in the Jordan? The answer marked the start of His public ministry and points to the way all of us are called to follow.

More than 2,000 years ago, Jesus came to the Jordan River to be baptized by John the Baptist. But this raises a powerful question: if Jesus never sinned, why did He need to be baptized? Jesus' baptism was not an act of repentance, but a step of obedience that marked the beginning of His public ministry and revealed the path we are all called to follow.
