wade in the water

Why did Jesus get baptized?

Anyone?

He never sinned, so what was the point?

The best ideas that I can come up with are these:

-To align Himself with John the Baptizer's ministry, like a stamp of approval
-To identify Himself with the people, and show them what they ought to do
-As a prophetic act, symbolizing the cross (death and resurrection)

Any others?
