Fulfillment of Old Covenant in Christ Jesus

All the Old Covenant configurations find their fulfillment in Christ Jesus, who began His public life by being baptized in the Jordan river by St. John the Baptist. Through his baptism, Jesus manifested self-emptying and revealed himself as the beloved Son of the Father. Christ's baptism symbolizes the new creation and opens the path to baptism for all, intertwining His Passion with baptism and the Eucharist as sacraments of new life.
