STEWARDSHIP SENTENCES based on Matthew 3:15 – “But Jesus answered him, ‘Let it be so
now, for thus it is fitting for us to fulfill all righteousness.’” The reason God sent His Son into the
world is to fulfill all righteousness for us, to do what we could not do. Here, Jesus plunges Himself
into our sins and soaks them up in His Baptism, so that in our Baptism we might be cleansed and
renewed. The whole of Jesus’ life, everything He did and said, was one great offering to the
Father in our stead to fulfill all righteousness for us.
