Welcome out today this afternoon.
I will have to be careful not to say this morning again, right and mess up, everybody's sense of time.
We are starting a gospel of Mark, the next 16 weeks or so.
We're going to be looking at the gospel of Mark and it is the shortest gospel.
And it was written Mark wrote it probably to Roman Christian's Christian's rather who were living in the city of Rome Greeks.
Speaking originally Latin speakers, and they didn't know much about the promises of the Old Testament.
They didn't know much about the Jewish scriptures, but they had heard this message.
Presumably from those Jewish Christians who have been saved on the day of Pentecost and returned home to Rome and Mark was a disciple of the Apostle Peter and Peter had spent some time ministry in Rome.
As did Paul later on wrote the book of Romans, of course to the church there in Rome.
And what I want to do here by way of beginning is I want to read through the first 13 verses of the Gospel of Mark.
Mark chapter 1.
Beginning and verse 1, the beginning of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, the son of God as it is written in Isaiah.
The prophet behold.
I'm sending my messenger before your face who will prepare your way the voice of one crying in the wilderness?
Prepare the way of the Lord, make his path, straight John appeared, baptizing in the wilderness, and proclaiming a baptism of repentance for the Forgiveness of sins and all the country of Judea and all Jerusalem.
We're going out to him, and we're being baptized by him in the River.
Jordan confessing their sins know, John was closed with camels hair, and he wore a leather belt around his waist and he ate locusts and wild, honey.
He preached saying after me comes one who is mightier than I the strap of whose sandals?
I am not worthy to stoop down.
And untie.
I have baptize you with water, but he will baptize you with the Holy Spirit.
In those days.
Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee and was baptized by John in the Jordan.
And when he came up out of the water immediately, he saw the heavens being torn open and the spirit descending on him like a dove and a voice Came From Heaven.
You are my beloved Son with you.
I am.
Well, pleased, the spirit immediately drove them out into the Wilderness and he was in the wilderness for forty days, being tempted by Satan and he was with the wild animals and the Angels were ministering to him.
So we're going to cover these 13 verses by way of introduction and Mark in his gospel.
He basically is going to argue.
There is one who came before feeling all the promises of the old testament's and he came at exactly the right time to be the savior of the world.
That's the whole Gospel of Mark.
In fact, in verse 1.
He gives it away.
Doesn't he?
He says right at the the verse when he says the beginning of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, the son of God.
So marks putting all his cards out on the table.
He saying, this is who Jesus is, he's the son of God and this is the gospel about him.
Now, this word gospel.
It's very familiar to most of us in both of the Old Testament which was translated into the Greek.
And it was called the Septuagint as well as other Greek literature.
This word for gospel.
You on, Kelly on it meant a Victor in an army or a battle.
I was bringing good news from the war, front back to the people to say we had Victory.
We won.
This was delivered around the Roman Empire by Harold's.
Also, because for example, perhaps a new Caesar was born his birth, his his rise to power or even that Caesar was coming to visit and there would be this gospel, this good news.
This you on, Kelly on that was mentioned, two people to say.
Hey, guess what?
Great news, we know what this is.
Like, it's like waiting on.
Good news of perhaps acceptance into college.
Birth of a child, a new job.
Perhaps to the good news that our wedding day is coming and we're going to get married and I can't wait.
And she said yes when I asked her.
And now I'm waiting for that day when she walks down the aisle.
And she says, I do.
And there's there's at least one couple in this room.
That's that's coming soon.
And so no stress there at all about that.
She's going to make it.
So this idea of good news that were very familiar with this end in the Old Testament.
There was this hope of good news, the Hebrew word bizarre is this idea?
For example, the prophet Isaiah.
It was used all over the place, but I'm choosing Isaiah because, Mark mentions, Isaiah, and Isaiah 40:19, Isaiah Wright's.
Get you up to the high mountain o.
Zion Herald of good news.
That's the word.
Lift up your voice with strength.
Oh, Jerusalem, Herald of good news.
Lifted up, fear not say to the cities of Judah.
Behold your God.
We're going to sing a song later after the sermon, Behold our God.
And I want you to pay attention when we sing that song because that song is sung about the second person of the Trinity.
I don't want you be confused.
It's not about God, the Father.
It's not about God, the holy spirit.
In the context of that song, is the idea that will be holding our God in the face of Jesus Christ and everything.
He's done.
And this is what Mark is saying.
This is the Gospel of Jesus Christ, the son of God, this is the beginning of the Gospel.
This is the good news beholden.
Look at who Isaiah fifty two, a few chapters later.
He says how beautiful a pain, the mountains are the feet of him, who brings good news, but what's the good news?
He publishes DC pronounces.
Good news of happiness.
Who publishes salvation?
Who says to Zion your god? Reigns, we celebrated it last week, didn't we get our god reigns?
Our Lord, Jesus Christ, didn't stay dead.
He rose from the dead.
He's seated at the right hand of the father.
He's ruling with the greatest Authority and he's called king of kings.
And Lord of lords.
Got to revert.
We're kind of backtracking here to the beginning of the story and Mark says, Hey listen up.
This is the beginning of the good news about Jesus, the Christ, the Messiah, the Son of God.
And so we get 16 weeks of listening to the good news, and I hope that excite you because it excites me because I don't know about you, but I need to hear about the sufficiency of my savior over and over again.
We need to hear over and over that.
He's the one is going to hold us fast.
We wouldn't do it in ourselves.
He's the one whose Mercy is more than our sin.
