The Baptism of the Lord

Many of us are too young to remember our own baptism, but we know it confers a releif from our sins.  Today, when we celebrate the memory of Jrsus being baptised in the Jordan, we may ask why would He do this, as he is free from sin?  The answer is that he is showing us that forgiveness of our sins is a gift from God, that we must remember.  We know God has chosen us- do we accept him as fully as we should?
