F.F. Bruce (3)
3.1K
At the threshold of his public ministry, he silenced the Baptist's objections to baptizing him with the words "thus it is fitting for us to fulfil all righteousness"-or, as the NEB puts it, "we do well to conform in this way with all that God requires" (Matt. 3:15). Unlike those others who were baptized by John in the Jordan, confessing their sins, it was with no consciousness of sin that he accepted baptism, but with the resolution to place himself unreservedly at God's disposal posal for the accomplishment of his saving purpose-and if, in doing so, he associated himself publicly with sinners, that was something which he was going to do throughout his ministry, until he was "numbered with the transgressors" on the cross.
The Epistle to the Hebrews
this is the book which establishes the finality of the gospel by asserting the supremacy of Christ-his supremacy as God's perfect word to man and man's perfect representative with God. More than any other New Testament book it deals with the ministry which our Lord is accomplishing on his people's behalf now.
