Preparing Your Way for the Lord
David Cawston
Mark 1:1-11
Introduction:
I want you to relive the life of Jesus Christ as seen through the eyes and the experience of Mark.
We will linger at each event, contemplate each saying, behold each miracle, feel each healing, experience each tragedy and triumph and receive each benefit of the amazing life of Jesus.

His mother has been one of the first witnesses to the resurrection.
As the host of the disciples, Mark must have been of the participants in the joy of the Good News that Jesus was alive.
It was to his home that the disciples returned to wait for the power that Jesus promised.

He gave not only his home but his heart to the living Christ.
Perhaps he was one of those who influenced the conversion of his cousin, Barnabus, who became distinguished for selling lands and possessions and giving the proceeds to the apostles In Acts Chapter 5.
As apart of a wealthy family, young Mark used his influence and financial ...
