The Baptism of the Lord raises many questions. How do we know he was baptized, did it really happen? That question asks the historicity of the event. A second question might be: "Who told us that Jesus was baptized?" That question asks for a source, "Who spilled the beans?" There is a third question and, to my spirituality, a more important question: "Why was this event included in the Gospel at all?"
