IN THE FOG
Mark 1:1-8
Good morning!
Mark 1
INTRODUCTION:
Hebrews 12:1-2 (NIV)…Let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus…
TEXT:
Mark 1:1-8 (NIV) The beginning of [the gospel] the good news about Jesus the Messiah, the Son of God, 2 as it is written in Isaiah the prophet:
“I will send my messenger ahead of you,
who will prepare your way”—
3 “a voice of one calling in the wilderness,
‘Prepare the way for the Lord,
make straight paths for him.’”
4 And so John the Baptist appeared in the wilderness, preaching a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins.5 The whole Judean countryside and all the people of Jerusalem went out to him. Confessing their sins, they were baptized by him in the Jordan River.6 John wore clothing made of camel’s hair, with a leather belt around his waist, and he ate locusts and wild honey.7 And this was his message: “After me comes the one more powerful than I, the straps of whose sandals I am not worthy to stoop down and untie.8 I baptize you withwater, but he will baptize you withthe Holy Spirit.”
