Further Reading

Regarding Jesus’ Baptism:
Consider: Jesus’ decision for baptism fulfills all righteousness, says Luther, in the sense that it is Jesus’ decision to begin his life of identification with sinners, ‘as if Christ wanted to say Although I am not myself a sinner, yet nevertheless I now bring with me the sin of the whole world, so that I am now only a sinner and the greatest sinner of the whole world.’ Jesus is baptized not because he shares our need but in order to share it.“
