First Presbyterian Church of LaGrange Texas

Matthew 3:13-17 describes Jesus' baptism by John the Baptist, a pivotal moment where Jesus, though sinless, fulfills all righteousness by identifying with humanity's need for cleansing, signaling the start of His ministry and revealing His divine identity as God's beloved Son, confirmed by the descending Holy Spirit and a voice from heaven. This event marks the public inauguration of the Messiah, showing His humility, obedience, and commitment to God's will, while also presenting the unified presence of the Trinity (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit)
