HE WANTED TO IDENTIFY WITH THE MINISTRY AND MESSAGE OF JOHN THE BAPTIST.

A SECOND REASON WAS THAT THIS WAS HIS WAY OF INITIATING HIS OWN MINISTRY.

AT THE SAME TIME, HE INDICATED TO US THE PATH WE ARE TO TAKE IN OUR DISCIPLESHIP. WE, TOO, ARE TO SUBMIT TO BAPTISM AS AN ACT OF IDENTIFICATION WITH HIS MESSAGE AND MINISTRY AND WITH HIS HELP, WE, TOO, ARE TO INITIATE A NEW LIFE.
