'Then Jesus came from Galilee to the Jordan to be baptised by John. But John tried to deter him, saying, "I need to be baptised by you, and do you come to me?" Jesus replied, "let it be so now; it is proper for us to do this to fulfil all righteouseness."'
St. Matthew 3:13,14Jesus lived the life God requires us to live. He lived a life which fulfilled all the righteousness God requires of human beings. He lived it perfectly for us and in our place.
