Commentary on Matthew 3:6
The act of baptism signified repentance and cleansing, but confession of sins was equally crucial. True repentance involves specific acknowledgment of sin, not merely general admission of human imperfection. John's baptism was preparatory, pointing to Christ's superior baptism with the Holy Spirit. The public confession demonstrated the social dimension of repentance—sin is not merely private but affects the covenant community.
