We all have our wilderness experiences. Even Jesus did. When you follow the Spirit you will have to fight the devil! Learn how to come through your wilderness in victory and power as you journey with Jesus.

At the baptism of Christ we hear the most important testimony ever given - the testimony of God. Publicly He announced that He is well pleased with His Son. Christ gives us the perfect example of obedience. Ask yourself today: Is God pleased with me?

Mark knew something about service; he is identifed in Scripture as a "minister." His book presents Christ as the perfect Servant. How appropriate that a humble servant named John the Baptist would be used to pave the way for Him. In these few verses we learn the one mark of a true servant.

It all begins with the gospel! Mark's account and our life finds its true beginning in the good news of Jesus Christ. There are four gospel records but only one gospel: the death, burial, and resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ. Rejoice today in the the gospel and share it with others.

God uses real people, people who have had great failures and have experienced the grace of Christ. Mark was such a person. He writes out of the overflow of the Savior he has come to know. As we begin our study of this earliest and shortest of the gospel records, let's take the time to meet Mark.
