Luke 3:15–22 — The Baptism of Jesus and the Mission of God

But this beloved one, this chosen one —the very Son of God—even as he comes to bring justice, establish righteousness, and to weigh in the balance every grief, transgression, and wrong act that opposes the goodness of God… even in that, he comes in mercy. The sinless one steps into the waters of repentance, not because he has wrong from which to repent but because he's come to carry the weight of the wrong for us.
