Why did God have to raise a representative of mankind? Because through this representative of mankind, God had to pass all its sins onto Himself by the method of baptism, for God’s wisdom is different from ours. So only when God died in our place could our sins be blotted out, and only then could we avoid death and live forever. That is why God sent a man, John the Baptist, as the representative of mankind. 

And the Lord, Himself, then came as the Savior incarnated in the flesh of man. All the sins of mankind could be blotted out only if the Savior Jesus accepted them through the representative of mankind by receiving baptism in the form of laying on of hands. We can come before the presence of God and avoid death only if we are sinless, and that is why God placed John the Baptist in the Jordan River. This is the very wisdom of God. God’s wisdom is far wiser than man’s wisdom. The Bible says that even the foolishness of God is wiser than man’s wisdom.  

John the Baptist is the representative of all mankind. It is written, “Assuredly, I say to you, among those born of women there has not risen one greater than John the Baptist; but he who is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he. And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffers violence, and the violent take it by force. For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John” (Matthew 11:11-13). As God said so, He made it clear that the greatest of all those born of women—that is, the representative of mankind—is John the Baptist. 

In Malachi, God said that He would send Elijah (Malachi 4:5), and this man whom God promised to send as the representative of mankind was none other than John the Baptist. God had first sent the representative of mankind, and then after six months, God Himself came to this earth incarnated in the body of man. Then, through this representative of mankind, John the Baptist, God personally took all the sins of mankind upon His own body by being baptized. Having thus accepted all the sins of mankind and placed them upon Himself, God carried the sins of the world to the Cross. It is because of God’s wisdom that all the sins of the world were passed onto Jesus Christ. 

As today’s Scripture passage says, “God blessed the seventh day and sanctified it,” God has indeed blessed mankind. Jesus took upon the sins of the world, in other words. That is why the Bible says, “Behold! The Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!” (John 1:29) When Jesus was baptized in the Jordan River, all the sins of the world were passed onto Him. But what about your sins? Were all your sins also passed onto Jesus?
