We begin our study of the gospel of Mark. The foundation to all that we are, and all that we do is because of the life, ministry, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. We’re introduced to Jesus through the ministry of John the Baptist. We are witness to the triune God in the baptism of Jesus, the anointing of the Holy Spirit, and the approval of God the Father. Like John the Baptist, we too are to live our life in a way that points to the salvation that only Jesus can provide.
