Jesus, anointed of God-Matthew 3:11-17

Matthew 3:16-17

(16)“And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him: (17) And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.”

Verse 16 During this time, we see that Jesus had a divine appointment. Jesus had/has no sin, therefore, He did not need to be baptized due to repentance or cleansing, but more as the beginning of His purpose to begin His ministry. When He was baptized, we read that after He rose from the water the heavens were opened unto him and the Holy Spirit of God descended like a dove upon Him.
