Simple thought from a simple mind.

Ok...we all know that John's baptism was a baptism of repentance..BUT...we often times forget that it was also:

A baptism of preperation

John's ministry was to prepare the people for the Lord...(to prepare the way)

Well, when John baptized Jesus, could we not also infer that he was preparing the Lord for the people? John's baptism of Jesus was also a baptism of preperation.

Note: That of course is already inferred in the whole annointing position, but I thought I would point it out specifically
