Mark 1:1-15 is the introduction to our series in Mark, and we start with this question, Why do so many people reject the gospel? Mark begins recounting the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God. We see how John the Baptist prepares the people for Jesus’ arrival, how Jesus was shown to truly be the promised Messiah, and why after all of that the Jews still rejected and crucified him. All of this helps us to understand why people today continue to reject the gospel, even when it is such good news.
