Christ fulfilled all righteousness in being baptized: he evidenced his obedience to the will of the Father, he covenanted to keep the commandments of the Father, he obtained membership in the kingdom of God on earth, and he opened for himself the doors to that kingdom in the world to come. In so doing he set an example for all the children of men. In all things Christ could say, “Follow me, and do the things which ye have seen me do.”
