Matt Slick has explained this in terms of Jesus' entry into priesthood so that he could rightfully be the sacrifice for the sins of humanity[1]. The church father Ambrose explained the baptism of Jesus as something that occurred not because Jesus needed the forgiveness of sins but rather to sanctify (i.e. make holy) the water.
