Gospel of Mark - Mark 1:4-8 - Prog 06

In our study in this lesson, we are looking at Mark 1:4-8. In these verses John the Baptist is presented first. He had a message aimed at the heart’s condition. Many people through out the region went out to hear this messenger and began confessing their sins. Mark provides us a description of this messenger’s clothing style and his kosher diet. This man pointed men and women to the Messiah. But in a spirit of humility, he also made a contrast between the savior and himself with respect to their different ministries. John baptized with water but Jesus would baptize in the Holy Spirit within a few years. This is seen later in time in Acts chapter 2, as Peter verifies in verses 32-33. Let’s turn to the Gospel of Mark, chapter 1 verse 4 with Dr. Mitchell on the Unchanging Word Bible Broadcast. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/unchanging-word/message
