Commentary on Matthew 3:17
The Father's voice declares: 'This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.' This combines Psalm 2:7 (messianic king) and Isaiah 42:1 (suffering servant), defining Jesus' mission as both royal and redemptive. The present tense 'am well pleased' shows eternal satisfaction, not conditional approval based on baptism. This divine affirmation before ministry begins demonstrates grace preceding works.
