Gospel of Mark 1:9-13
Thank you to all who participated in the zoom gathering this past sunday. We appreciate your flexibility given the cold weather. Two weeks ago we started our journey through the gospel of Mark. Something to keep in mind as we move along is what Mark reveals to us about Jesus: Jesus is the sovereign, suffering, and victorious king. If we keep that in mind, much of Mark will come alive in a fresh way. This Sunday, we will pick up on the very next passage and look at Jesus's baptism and his time in the wilderness. Some questions we will explore together are 1) Why should I care about the baptism of Jesus? 2) What is the significance of Mark's version of the wilderness in comparison to Matthew and Luke's? This is one of my favorite passages in the gospel of Mark.
