Mark 1:1-11
“1 The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son
of God;
2 As it is written in the prophets, Behold, I send my
messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee.
3 The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare
ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight.
4 John did baptize in the wilderness, and preach the
baptism of repentance for the remission of sins.
5 And there went out unto him all the land of Judaea,
and they of Jerusalem, and were all baptized of him in the river of Jordan,
confessing their sins.
6 And John was clothed with camel's hair, and with a
girdle of a skin about his loins; and he did eat locusts and wild honey;
7 And preached, saying, There cometh one mightier than
I after me, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to stoop down and
unloose.
8 I indeed have baptized you with water: but he shall
baptize you with the Holy Ghost.
9 And it came to pass in those days, that Jesus came
from Nazareth of Galilee, and was baptized of John in Jordan.
10 And straightway coming up out of the water, he saw
the heavens opened, and the Spirit like a dove descending upon him:
11 And there came a voice from heaven, saying, Thou
art my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.”
“The beginning
of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God;” And O what a glorious Gospel it
is!!! O what a blessing to be able to sit and read of the life and times and
examples and commandments of our Lord and Savior. Praise God for His Gospel
that leads God's chosen people to salvation from our sins and frees us from the
penalty of hell and the grave and gives us eternal life in Him.
Praise ye the
Lord!!!
