Three implications of Jesus baptism that correspond to his mission:
Levite consecration of washing and anointing (Ex 29:4-9) Jesus (Heb 2:17)
Royal consecration (1 Sam 16:13) Jesus (Jn 18:37; Acts 13:21-23)
Prophetic consecration Elisha (1 Kings 19:16) Jesus (Mark 6:4)
Identification = with humanity's sin and need of repentance (Heb 4:15)
Illustration = pointed to His pending death and resurrection (Mt 20:19)
Exemplification = He led the way for baptism command (Mt 28:18-20)

Like Elijah whose return Israel expected in Jesus' time (1 Kings 19:8)

Tempted by Satan the Spirit led Him there, but Satan did the tempting
Preparation necessary as embarking on his public ministry
Demonstration showing the Son of God would NOT fail, not to see if he would
Identification with Israel and with the church
