The Spirit is made known as he descended upon Jesus for the purpose of enduing him with special power at the beginning of his public ministry. The Son is present in human flesh. The baptism was a crucial point in Christ's lifetime. He was being inaugurated as the Messiah, the bringer of God's salvation, the fulfiller of all prophetic utterances. How fit and proper it was for the Father to set his seal thus upon his Son, and for the Spirit to anoint him with unction as the prophet, priest and king of God's elect. The triune God is for us; redemption is his work, and here we are spectators of his divine acting at its very inception.
