Jesus`s baptism

Bible says that Jesus was baptized by John. But it was not for repentance. In John 1:31 -- John the Bapist says ``.........He should be revealed to Isreal, therefore I came baptizing with water.`` It was a time for dedication to start a new beginning in His life. This incident shows Jesus`s humility also. Immediately after the event, Holy spirit descended from heaven like a dove, and He remained upon Him. It was a great sign to John the Bapist, that Jesus is the lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world. Jesus is the son God and He is holy. Repentance is need to a man and not to God. Hence the baptism of Jesus by John can be considered as the beginning of His public life and service, as Holy spirit descended upon Him from heaven immediately after this event.

Jesus, the Son of God.

Jesus`s kingdom is spiritual and that He would not be a warlike Messiah who would establish a free Jewish state and throw off the Roman yoke. His full authority over the earth would come only at the ``end of the age``. The death of Jesus was the climax of a long history of blood sacrifice on Jewish altars. We see the life, death and resurrection of Jesus as the ultimate events in the great story of redemption from sin.
