The essential thing for us to know is that Jesus received the baptism from John the Baptist at the River Jordan so that He may take the sins of the world onto Himself before He was to be crucified on the Cross. Yet, a big problem is that many people are not aware of this fact. Hence, we have to hold fast that Jesus' baptism was to take the sins of this world onto Himself at once before He was crucified on the Cross. Knowing and believing in Jesus Christ as our Savior, who came to the world by the gospel of the water and the Spirit, is very important to blot out all our sins.
Suala la msingi ambalo tunapaswa kulitambua ni kuwa Yesu aliupokea ubatizo wa Yohana Mbatizaji katika Mto Yordani ili aweze kuzichukua dhambi za ulimwengu katika mwili wake kabla ya kusulubiwa Msalabani. Lakini pamoja na ukweli huo, kuna tatizo kubwa kwa kuwa watu wengi bado hawaufahamu ukweli huu. Hivyo, tunapaswa kuzingatia kuwa ubatizo wa Yesu ulikuwa na lengo la kuzichukua dhambi za ulimwengu katika mwili wake mara moja kabla ya kusulubiwa Msalabani. Hivyo kumfahamu na kumwamini Yesu Kristo kuwa ni Mwokozi wetu, aliyekuja hapa duniani kwa injili ya maji na Roho, ni muhimu sana kwa ajli ya kuzitoweshea mbali dhambi zetu.
