Here we go- reading one chapter of the NT per day and even getting weekends off. My challenge is GO DEEP.
Mark 1 - I am so glad the readings start with the gospel of Mark. It is my favorite. Everything is about the messiah, healing and it all leads to the passion. 1/2 way through ch 8 Jesus predicts his death and challenges to the cross for everyone.
The news - Jesus, the Messiah is coming.
The messenger - John, rough, ready and passionate.
Jesus Baptism - the banner event and the heavens are opened.
Temptation - Spirit compelled, satan organized
Jesus, Messiah, passed the test. He makes the way for us to pass the test. He's our help, our health, and our salvation.
