Mark 1:1-11 | The Beginning of the Gospel
Mark 1:1-11 | The Beginning of the Gospel from CrossPointe Coast on Vimeo.
Preacher: Jeremiah Fyffe
Scripture: Mark 1:1-11
Isaiah 40:4–5
Every valley shall be lifted up,
and every mountain and hill be made low;
the uneven ground shall become level,
and the rough places a plain.
And the glory of the LORD shall be revealed,
and all flesh shall see it together,
for the mouth of the LORD has spoken.
Kent Hughs
John’s dress and lifestyle were a protest against the godlessness and self-serving materialism of his day. It amounted to a call to separate oneself from the sinful culture, repent, and live a life focused on God. Even his context, the desert wilderness, was meant to emphasize this, for it was originally to the wilderness that Israel came out of Egypt. The people’s coming out to John in the wilderness was a subtle acknowledgment of Israel’s history of disobedience and rebellion, and a desire to begin again.

What was beautiful was that John’s life and actions bore out what he was. He lived a life of continual repentance and uncompromising devotion to God.
John 5:35–36
He was a burning and shining lamp, and you were willing to rejoice for a while in his light. But the testimony that I have is greater than that of John. For the works that the Father has given me to accomplish, the very works that I am doing, bear witness about me that the Father has sent me.
John 3:6-7
That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Do not marvel that I said to you, ‘You must be born again.’
R. C. Sproul
The Spirit anointed the human nature of Jesus. We tend to think that Jesus performed His miracles in His divine nature. Actually, He performed them in His human nature through the power of the Holy Spirit given to Him at His baptism. It was there that God empowered Jesus to fulfill the mission He had been given.
Mark 10:45
For even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.
Matthew 3:15
But Jesus answered him, “Let it be so now, for thus it is fitting for us to fulfill all righteousness.
