Answering the question, why was jesus's baptism important.

Why was jesus's baptism important? In this sermon Pastor Jeremy Dapena seeks to answer this question. He starts by explaining that although Jesus didn't need forgiveness of sin for he was perfect, and he doesn't need to be an adopted son of God, it allows him to affirm his identity as the son of God. It also puts him on our level, so we feel united with him. His baptism gave him strength to avoid temptation placed before him by Satan, so we can learn and do the same, by remembering our own baptisms daily. Video recorded at Scottsdale, Arizona.
