Luke 3-15-16, 21-22 Baptism of Jesus Do we need to embrace community?

Send us Fan MailIn Luke’s Gospel we have a brief description of Jesus being baptized by his cousin, John the Baptist. The details are scarce. We don’t know why Jesus chose to participate in this ritual or how it impacted his ministry.  This story is problematic however, as this ritual was designed for sinners, why would Jesus who had not sinned be participating in this ritual? This is a good lesson for us in that while we may have the right to do something we ought to also  take into account  the impact that  our actions may have upon others.Complete our 1 Minute Survey
