Jesus of Nazareth is the most compelling person in all of history. His influence continues to shape the world as over a billion people in the world identify with him in some form or another. But who was this man? What did he do? Why does he continue to exercise influence on the world 2,000 years after his birth? In Mark 1:1–13, we get an insight into who Jesus is from God’s angle. In this introduction the curtains are pulled back, and we are given a divine assessment of both Jesus’s character, as well as a hint toward his mission on earth.
