Being the Beloved of God (1 of 9)
Series: All Things Well
Will McGee
Mark 1:9-15
INTRODUCTION
We are beginning a new study today through the Gospel of Mark... For the next few months, I want us to look at the life of Jesus.
- An extraordinary life... Mark 7 - People were overwhelmed with amazement in his presence, saying, ''He has done all things well.''
- Here at Crossroads... We believe that Jesus was a good teacher... and a good example... But we also believe he is more than that... He is ''son of God who came to take away the sins of the world.''
Each of the four gospels begins differently (Genealogy, poem, prophecy) Mark, on the other hand, jumps right in... Goes straight to Jesus' baptism.
- I think there are some significant things for us to learn from this passage in Mark 1.
[9] At that time Jesus came from Nazareth in Galilee and was baptized by John The Baptist in the Jordan.
John the Baptist -A prophet that preached that I Messiah was coming.
- Jesus is now on the scene... The Messiah has come...
- He is in front of John... He asks to be baptized... John, hesitant at first, does it...
[10] Just as Jesus was coming up out of the water; he saw heaven being torn open and the Spirit descending on him like a dove. [11] And a voice came from heaven: ''You are my Son, whom I love; with you I am well pleased.''
''This is my son... With him I am well pleased.''
- Eugene Peterson, in his translation says, ''This is my son. Chosen and marked by my love. The delight of my life.''
- I am so proud of my son! So glad that he was born.
Here is the first thing I want you to see in this passage... Obvious point... But deeply important.
JESUS IS THE BELOVED SON OF GOD
This passage is often studied as a theological text about the trinity...
- God the Father is here... Christ the Son is here... The Holy Spirit is here.
- Christian doctrine throughout church history has held that God has existed in three persons (trinity) for ...
