When Jesus came to John the Baptist “to be baptized by him,” John at first “tried to prevent Him,” because he understood the purpose of baptism (“for the remission of sins,” Mark 1:4; Acts 2:38) and he understood that Jesus had no sins of 
which to be remitted (Matt. 3:13-14). But Jesus insisted that it must be done, in order “to fulfill all righteousness” (Matt. 3:15).
Jesus could have said (like some people today say about a variety of Biblical requirements), “I don’t get how that applies to me. That’s really for other people. I just feel in my heart that God has a different plan for me. God understands where I am and knows my heart. I’m ok.”
No! Jesus didn’t make excuses! Jesus didn’t try to explain why God’s Word didn’t apply to Him! Instead, He looked at God’s command (be baptized) and wanted to do nothing less than what God said! What about you? When God lays out in plain English what He expects of us, do you try to find some reason that it doesn’t apply to you? Or, do you say, “I must do right!”?
