A Holy Baptism
One of enigmas about Christ Jesus' life is that he received baptism from a man.
The baptism of Jesus marks the beginning of his public ministry. This event is recorded in the Canonical Gospels of Matthew, Mark and Luke. In John 1:29-33, rather than a direct narrative, John the Baptist bears witness to the episode.
In the New Testament, John the Baptist preached a "baptism with water", not of forgiveness but of penance or repentance for the remission of sins (Luke 3:3), and declared himself a forerunner to one who would baptize 'with the Holy Spirit and with fire' (Luke 3:16). In so doing he was preparing the way for Jesus.[4] Jesus came to the Jordan River where he was baptized by John.The baptismal scene includes the Heavens opening, a dove-like descent of the Holy Spirit, and a voice from Heaven saying, "This is my beloved Son with whom I am well pleased."

There are many arguments as to why He had to receive baptism while Christ Jesus never committed a sin. Will God be christened by a man?
But, it was like children's play for Christ. John the Baptist was doing something so primitive to the eye of Christ Jesus. He might have even laughed at it. Instead, Christ Jesus decided to encourage John as He saw that John was sincere and pious. So, instead of correcting the way of John's administration, Christ Jesus decided to have John continue the way with good faith.
After this incident, whenever John the Baptist performed baptism on a sinner, he must have recalled Christ Jesus receiving baptism from him. Accordingly, John must have felt so solemn when he administered baptism. John must have seen the image of Christ in a man receiving baptism, which made John feel so blessed.
Christ Jesus' act of receiving baptism from John was not for Christ Himself but for John the Baptist.
It is so because without holy help a man cannot administer baptism on so many sinners from whom evil spirits should come out to defile the one baptizing them.
The incident gave great strength spiritually to John.
Suppose that you are John the Baptist. Then here comes God. He lets you take a superior position against Him. How do you feel? Do you think now you are superior to God? There are no such fools. You will wonder whether this act of baptizing God is the worst blasphemy. You would be, then, surely condemned forever. But if you see God forgiving you, your faith in God will be so uplifted. What honor you have been given, you must feel. You will never betray God who loves you so much by positioning you above Him, if once, though.
