Washing with water is an effective sign of our sins being washed away.

			The Baptism of Jesus is a scandal. If He is God the Son from before all befores who has become human to save us from sin, what is He doing taking a sinner's bath? We Puritans would rather have Him stand aside, looking down from a great height on the filthy people dirtying the water with their sins. Jesus was never afraid of being mistaken for a sinner. He ate and drank with public sinners; He touched lepers; He let an unclean woman touch Him; He healed the children and servants of outsiders; He spoke with the Samaritan woman at the well; He let his disciples harvest and munch some grain on the Sabbath; He Himself worked on the day of rest; He let his enemies pin him to the Cross. Jesus took a sinner's bath so that all sinners might be washed clean. It is the perfect emblem of His whole mission.

	* Jesus takes a sinner's bath, but He is free from sin.		* Jesus takes a sinner's bath, but He is free from sin. John's baptism for repentance with water was prophetic of Jesus' "baptism in the Holy Spirit and with fire" (Lk). John prepared the way for Jesus. It was perfectly appropriate for Jesus to be blessed by John:
			::* Jesus identifies Himself with sinners. He is not afraid to be mistaken for a sinner, and he wants to take the burden of all sins upon himself. He doesn't insist on receiving the accolades due Him as true God and true Man. As with His death on the Cross--which He calls a baptism (Mk 10:38)--He did not ''have'' to do this. His immersion in the world of sin and His immolation on the Cross are pure acts of love.
			::* Jesus' baptism is the culmination of John's ministry.
	* The water did not cleanse and sanctify Jesus; He cleansed and sanctified the water (the Eastern tradition blesses baptismal water at this feast).		* The water did not cleanse and sanctify Jesus; He cleansed and sanctified the water (the Eastern tradition blesses baptismal water at this feast).
	* Jesus was anointed (messiahed, christ-ed or "christened")~~, but with~~ the ''reality'' of the Holy Spirit ~~rather than with~~ the ~~symbol of~~ oil used in the anointing of the Kings of Israel.		* Jesus was anointed (messiahed, christ-ed or "christened") without oil. He received the ''reality'' of the Holy Spirit that the oil used in the anointing of the Kings of Israel had ''symbolized.''
	* This is a coronation (Latin, ''corona'', "crown," hence coronation, "crowning") without a crown.		* This is a coronation (Latin, ''corona'', "crown," hence coronation, "crowning") without a crown.
	* John the Baptist, unlike Samuel, does not ~~do the anointing of~~ the King, but witnesses the Father anointing the Son with the Holy Spirit.		* John the Baptist, unlike Samuel, does not anoint the King, but witnesses the Father anointing the Son with the Holy Spirit.
