Mark 1:1 - 1.11

Gospel of MarkSteve Gregg
Steve Gregg gives a thorough analysis of the Gospel of Mark, which focuses on the actions of Jesus and emphasizes the role of John the Baptist as his precursor. The baptism of Jesus is a significant event, as it marks the point when he receives the Holy Spirit and is identified as God's Son by the Father. John's testimony to Jesus' identity as the Son of God changed the way he viewed the Messiah and spurred him to proclaim Jesus' ministry to others. The significance of Christian baptism as a profession of repentance and the receiving of the Holy Spirit is highlighted.
