Series: The Gospel of Mark
Ken Trivette
Mark 1:9
1. Jesus Came Prophetically
2. The Authenticity of His Person
3. The Authority of His Promise
4. Jesus Came Publicly
5. He Was Introduced on Earth
6. He Was Identified by Heaven
7. Jesus Came Purposefully
8. He Has Come
9. We Can Come
The Gospel of Mark, the shortest of the four gospels, is a fast-moving snapshot of the life of the Lord Jesus. The emphasis is on the works of the Lord Jesus, rather than His words. As it has been said, there is a minimum of discourse here and a maximum of deeds. There are almost three times as many miracles as parables recorded. As August Van Ryn said, ''This Gospel is crammed with ceaseless activity.''
From the outset, it is clear that Mark has one objective and that is showing us Jesus as ''the Son of man'' who ''came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give His life a ransom for many'' (Mk. 10:45). The word ''ministered,'' and ''minister,'' speak of a servant. He was the ''Son of man'' sent to carry out the Father's will and to minister by giving His life. The book begins, unlike the other Gospels, with the Lord Jesus immediately entering the work for which He had been sent and laboring ceaselessly till His Father's will was accomplished.
At the very beginning, Mark wants us to know that ''Jesus came'' (1:9). Throughout the rest of Mark's gospel, he will keep our eyes focused on the fact that Jesus has come and why He came. In the opening verses of Mark's Gospel, we see that:
HE CAME PROPHETICALLY
At the very outset of Mark's Gospel, we are reminded that Jesus came in fulfillment of prophecy. We read, ''As it is written in the prophets, Behold, I send my messenger before they face, which shall prepare thy way before thee. The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make His paths straight'' (1:2-3). Mark quotes from two Old Testament prophecies. In verse 2, he quotes from Ma ...
