Significance of Baptism of God's Son

Have you ever wondered why Jesus needs to be baptized?

Even though He is the Son of God, He deliberately went to John the Baptist to be baptised because He wants to identify, connect, and empathise with us, His Children.

But, does it mean we can continue to gratify our sinful desires just because God "understands" us? no. On the contrary, we will long for sinlessness and be like the sinless Christ when we are able to see His empathy and grace.
