1 | Why was Christ baptized? | NT general Archive 1 | kalos | 2573 | ||
The Bible SAYS Christ was baptized for what purpose? I.e., according to the clear record of Scripture, why was Christ baptized? Someone at this Forum has written: When Christ was baptized, "He showed us what we must do in order to inherit the kingdom of God." Did He? All my life I have heard that Jesus was baptized in order to set an example for us to follow. Was He? WHAT DOES THE BIBLE PLAINLY SAY about the purpose of His baptism? | ||||||

I would understand two (2) reasons the Scriptures state for Jesus' baptism. One, Matthew 3:15, 16, to fulfill all righteousness. Two, John 1:31, John the baptist indicates the One to come would be baptised and Israel may know He is the one to come, so He might be revealed to Israel. s/Lowry |

"To fulfill all righteousness." That's why Jesus was baptized. Bingo! That's the answer I was looking for. Nowhere does the Bible SAY He was baptized in order to set us an example that we too should be baptized. (Although it is true that we should be baptized.) Thank you for the *biblical* answser to a biblical question. | ||||||
