Being All about Jesus! (1 of 25)
Series: Mark

Mark 1:1-8
Then - John the Baptist's ministry marked the beginning of the ministry of Jesus Christ.
Now - John the Baptist is a model of a Gospel-centered ministry.
INTRODUCTION: We begin this morning a verse by verse study of the book of Mark.
The Gospel - means Good News - Good News of Jesus Christ.
Who was Mark? Probably the John Mark of Acts. He accompanied Paul and Barnabas on the first missionary Journey. He was a disciple of Peter and tradition holds that this gospel is the culmination of the teachings of Peter on the life and ministry of Jesus. It was most likely written before 70 A.D.It was written to Gentiles, probably Romans. It is shorter than the other Gospels. It moves quickly from scene to scene.
This morning we will be introduced to a man named John the Baptist. John is one of those unforgettable characters in the Bible. Like Noah or Elijah or David, He is a mountain of a man and powerhouse preacher.
But as important as JTB is - He is not the central character of these verses. In the shadows of the test stands the most important person to ever walk the face of planet Earth. A man, more than a man, God in the flesh.
John knows this and makes no bones about it. His life and His ministry were never about hiself - It was always about Jesus.
The church can learn some lessons from John. We can learn how to be a Church that is all about Jesus. His life will give us three principles upon which we can build a Church, a family and a life that is all about Jesus!

This is a quotation of Is. 40 and Mal. 3. John the Baptist and Jesus were not just spiritual accidents. They both appeared as a result of divine providence. God in his sovereignty molded history to bring about this very moment. In fact, all of history had moved toward this very time when the Messiah, Jesus would appear.Thous ...
