Baptism and Temptation
Matthew 3:13-4:11
As we continue in our study of the Gospel of Matthew, the ex-tax collector, we come to two significant events in our Lord’s life: His baptism and temptation.
We know very about the early life of our Lord.
We know about the time He as a boy stayed behind in Jerusalem on His parents visit.
We know He grew up in a carpenter’s house.
We can make the assumption that He worked along side Joseph.
It was arduous work.
They had to cut the trees and ready them for their construction as well as gather the rock.
You can imagine that Jesus was very strong physically.
The next time we see Him is when He presents Himself for baptism by John at the Jordan.
I. Jesus’ baptism.
Vs. 13 Then Jesus came from Galilee to the Jordan to John, to be baptized by him.
John recognized Jesus and no doubt knew Him because his mother Elizabeth was Mary’s cousin.
14 John would have prevented him, saying, “I need to be baptized by you, and do you come to me?” John’s objection to baptizing Jesus was not that he saw Him as the Messiah, but as superior.
John did know that Jesus was the Messiah until the heavenly sign revealed it.
(ESV) I myself did not know him, but for this purpose I came baptizing with water, that he might be revealed to Israel.”
32 And John bore witness: “I saw the Spirit descend from heaven like a dove, and it remained on him.
33 I myself did not know him, but he who sent me to baptize with water said to me, ‘He on whom you see the Spirit descend and remain, this is he who baptizes with the Holy Spirit.’
John’s baptism was a baptism of repentance so it doesn’t make sense that Jesus who was sinless should submit to baptism.
Many have tried to explain this, but we have no Scripture explanation.
In verse 15 we see Jesus response.
But Jesus answered him, “Let it be so now, for thus it is fitting for us to fill all righteousness.”
Then he consented.
We know Jesus came to fulfill the law not to abolish it.()

John’s baptism was a baptism of repentance so it doesn’t make sense that Jesus who was sinless should submit to baptism.
Many have tried to explain this, but we have no Scripture explanation.
We know that Jesus came to identify with us.
In our baptism we are identified with Jesus in his death and resurrection so that His death becomes our death and His resurrection our resurrection.
In Jesus’ baptism by John, Jesus identified Himself with us in our humanity, thereby taking on Himself the obligation to fulfill all righteousness so that He might be a perfect Savior and substitute for us.
31 I myself did not know him, but for this purpose I came baptizing with water, that he might be revealed to Israel.”
32 And John bore witness: “I saw the Spirit descend from heaven like a dove, and it remained on him.
33 I myself did not know him, but he who sent me to baptize with water said to me, ‘He on whom you see the Spirit descend and remain, this is he who baptizes with the Holy Spirit.’
