THREE THINGS WE GLEAN FROM JESUS: 

 

 

1.

 

 

Mark 1:9 (NIV)At that time Jesus came from Nazareth in Galilee and was baptized by John in the Jordan.

 

John 1:29 (NIV)The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him and said, “Look, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!

 

 

 

Matthew 3:7 (NIV) John saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming to where he was baptizing, he said to them: “You brood of vipers! Who warned you to flee from the coming wrath?

 

Matthew 3:15 (NIV) Jesus replied, “Let it be so now; it is proper for us to do this to fulfill all righteousness.” Then John consented.

 

 

 

Isaiah 64:6-7 (NLT)We are all infected and impure with sin.  When we display our righteous deeds,they are nothing but filthy rags.  Like autumn leaves, we wither and fall,and our sins sweep us away like the wind.  ⁷ Yet no one calls on your name or pleads with you for mercy.  Therefore, you have turned away from usand turned us overto our sins.

 

 

2 Corinthians 6:2 (NIV)I tell you, now is the time of God’s favor, now is the day of salvation.

 

 

Hebrews 3:7-8 (NIV)⁷ So, as the Holy Spirit says: “Today, if you hear his voice,⁸ do not harden your hearts…

 

Hebrews 12:14 (NIV)Without holiness no one will see the Lord.

 

2 Corinthians 5:21 (NIV)God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.

 

 

Mark 1:9At that time Jesus came from Nazareth in Galilee and was baptized by John in the Jordan.

 

 

 

Baptism is not from Jesus, it’s with Jesus.

 

 

 

Jesus is His life.

 

Galatians 2:20 (NIV)I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.

 

 

 

 

2.

 

Mark 1:10-11 (NIV)¹⁰ Just as Jesus was coming up out of the water, he saw heaven being torn open and the Spirit descending on him like a dove.¹¹ And a voice came from heaven: “You are my Son, whom I love; with you I am well pleased.” 

 

(NKJV)”And immediately, coming up out of the water…

 

 

 

Isaiah 64:1-2 (NIV) Oh, that you would rend the heavens and come down,that the mountains would tremble before you!  ² As when fire sets twigs ablazeand causes water to boil,come down to make your name known to your enemiesand cause the nations to quake before you!

 

 

Mark 1:10 (NIV)The Spirit descending on him like a dove.

 

 

John 1:32 (NIV)Then John gave this testimony: “I saw the Spirit come down from heaven as a dove and remain on him.

 

 

Genesis 1 vs.  Mark 1

 

 

Genesis 1:1”In the beginning”

 

Genesis 3:14-15 (NIV)¹⁴ So the Lord God said to the serpent, “Because you have done this, “Cursed are you above all livestockand all wild animals!You will crawl on your belly and you will eat dustall the days of your life.  ¹⁵ And I will put enmity between you and the woman,and between your offspringand hers;he will crush your head, and you will strike his heel.”

 

 

 

Genesis 1:2 (NIV)Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Isaiah 11:1-2 (NIV) A shoot will come up from the stump of Jesse;from his roots a Branch will bear fruit.  ² The Spirit of the Lord will rest on him—the Spirit of wisdom and of understanding, the Spirit of counsel and of might, the Spirit of the knowledge and fear of the Lord.

 

 

 

 

Isaiah 42:1 (NIV) “Here is my servant, whom I uphold,my chosen one in whom I delight;I will put my Spirit on him,and he will bring justice to the nations.” 

 

 

 

Mark 1:11 (NIV) And a voice came from heaven: “You are my Son, whom I love; with you I am well pleased.”

 

 

Psalm 2:6-7 (NIV)“I have installed my kingon Zion, my holy mountain.” ⁷ I will proclaim the Lord’s decree:  He said to me, “You are my son;today I have become your father.”

 

 

Isaiah 42:1 (NIV) “Here is my servant, whom I uphold,my chosen one in whom I delight;I will put my Spirit on him,and he will bring justice to the nations.” 

 

 

 

 

3.

 

 

Mark 1:12-13 (NIV) At once the Spirit sent him out into the wilderness, ¹³ and he was in the wilderness forty days, being temptedby Satan. He was with the wild animals, and angels attended him.

 

 

 

 

1 John 3:8 (NIV) says, The one who does what is sinful is of the devil, because the devil has been sinning from the beginning. The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the devil’s work.

 

 

Jesus is in the wilderness Satan.

 

 

 

 

Mark 1:13 (NIV) He was with the wild animals, and angels attended him.
