Good News!
The Good News about Jesus Christ, the Son of God, begins ...
-- Mark 1:1 (ERV)
KEY THOUGHT:
We are beginning a journey through the Gospel of Mark. Gospel means
"good news." Mark wants us to know four things about our journey with
him through the life of Jesus. First, it is a journey about God's good
news. Second, it is about a very human person named Jesus; his humanity
is revealed throughout Mark�s Gospel. Third, this Jesus is also the
Messiah (or Christ) promised in the Old Testament, and fourth, he is
the Son of God. Never lose sight of the fact that Mark is telling us
the good news of God about Jesus in the message that he shares with us.
Sometimes the words and stories will be challenging and hard to
understand. Yet at the heart of each story, event, or teaching is an
implicit hope that God has brought us something very good in Jesus!
TODAY'S PRAYER:
Father, as I make the journey through the next year, please help me
know Jesus better. Help me see Jesus as the source and foundation of
your good news. Open my eyes and help me see Jesus, in whose name I
pray. Amen.
