Mark
A Man On a Mission
AUDIO ONLY
SUMMARY
Mark presents the open of Jesus’ ministry by pointing to three actions:
1. Jesus’ baptism.
2. Jesus’ desert temptations.
3. Jesus taking over the message of God’s Kingdom from John the Baptist.
Hardly any details are given to fill out these passages. As we read this passage, instead of comparing it to the other gospels try and think about the Old Testament passages to which Mark’s gospel points.
Mark 1:12-13 12 At once the Spirit sent him out into the desert, 13 and he was in the desert forty days, being tempted by Satan. He was with the wild animals, and angels attended him.
