Mark 1:12 - 1:20
Gospel of MarkSteve Gregg
In this passage, Jesus is baptized by John and then immediately goes into the wilderness for 40 days, where he is tested and empowered. He successfully resists temptation and begins his ministry, calling individuals such as Peter, Andrew, James, and John to be his disciples. The concept of forsaking all to become a disciple is discussed, with the idea that God may use individuals' past experiences and careers to prepare them for their calling. The importance of discipleship is also highlighted in the process of cleaning and preparing fish, which symbolizes the process of discipleship that followers of Jesus must go through.
