Matthew 3:15 (NKJV) But Jesus answered and said to him, “Permit it to be so now, for thus it is fitting for us to fulfill all righteousness.” Then he allowed Him.
What was fitting for them to fulfill all righteousness? Righteousness can be a touchy subject. It isn't about being perfect, it is about choosing to do what the Father has told you to do. Jesus was righteous because He did only what He saw His Father doing (John 5:19). He knew the Father wanted Him to be baptized and He knew John was to baptize Him. Jesus tells John, "…It is fitting for us to fulfill all righteousness." Jesus could've gone down into the water and dunked Himself and many would consider that being baptized. It isn't necessarily how you get baptized; it is that you are baptized. Baptized means we are immersed or submerged. God wanted John to baptize His Son. To fulfill all righteousness would mean Jesus couldn't baptize Himself. He had to be baptized and it had to be John. Together, they would fulfill all righteousness.
There are things the Father tells each one of us to do. He tells us who we are to accomplish the assignment with. What has God told you to do and with whom did did He tell you to align yourself, to accomplish the task?
Father, You are clear in what You want done. You also share who I am to align with to accomplish the task You have given into my hands. I will seek them out. I will align myself with them. I will share what You want us to accomplish and like Jesus, I will give them a choice. Jesus asked John to permit what He was asking. I will not insist someone do the task. I will invite them and share with them what You have said. I will let You move on their heart. I will let them know. I will align with them and we will accomplish the God-task together in Jesus' name amen.
