Momentous Baptism of Jesus

Jesus' day of baptism was a momentous event in redemptive history because his coming to the Jordan River was a deliberate action on his part, it was a submission to a baptism for sinners, he was plunged and lifted out of the water, the heavens were torn open and the Spirit descended on him, the Father declared that Jesus was his beloved Son, the Father expressed his pleasure in his Son, and the Trinity was plainly seen as the three persons of the one God were present and interacted together on that day at the Jordan River.
