JESUS PREPARES FOR HIS
MINISTRY
Scripture Lesson-Mark /:
1-13 Print-Mark 1:1-13
MEN MORY SELECTION
For in that he himself hath
suffered being tempted, he is
able to succour them that are
tempted. - (Hebrews 2:18)
Christ is our all in all. In Him
dwells all the fulness of the
Godhead bodily. Christ is per-
feet God, possessing all the
attributes of Deity and He is
perfect Man, possessing all
attributes of a sinless man.
In Christ there is a divine ade-
quacy, for He possessed the
captivity to redeem man, and
as a Man He possesses all the
legal rights to redeem men.
He became a Man to take
mans place, to atone for his
sins, to fight mans battles, to
overcome mans enemy and
to restore man in the image of
God. He knows how to re-
deem men from sin and to
help men to overcome. He
lived His human life on a level
with other men and He knows
how men feel, and He knows
their needs. He was hungry,
tempted, suffered and died,
and by reason of triumphing
over all these elements He
can deliver men out of all
their temptations and cause
them to triumph.
PREPARATION AND IRA
DITION:
Mark introduces Jesus
preparation for His ministry
with a brief reference to Isa-
iah's prophecy of the one who
would go before the Messiah
as a trail blazer. "My mes
senger who will prepare the
way before me" = John the
Baptist is placed in this role
of way-maker for the Lord.
John prepares the way for the
ministry of Jesus by a spec
tacular call to repentance to
which there is a great popular
response. The ordinance of
Baptism followed the confes-
sion of sins.
This popular response to the
preaching of John the Baptist
evidenced the national con-
sciousness of the need of a
new reli gious emphasis.
Johns mannerisms and dis
regard for the Temple and
priesthood in religious minis
trations prepared the people
for the ministry of Jesus in
which there would be sharp
departure from traditional re-
igion.
THE ROLE OF JOHN THE
BAPTIST IN JESUS PREP
ARATION:
1t is familiar knowledge that
Jesus acquiesced in Johns
baptism even though the fore
runner protested, 81 have
need to be baptized of thee";;
and that John also introduced
Jesus to his audience as the
one who would follow him in
the MeSsianic role. The latch

greatness in humility and CO.
operative f e | l o w S h i p are
events in His double identity
with the penitent nation and
with the baptismal rite prac-
ticed by John. He presented
Himeelf with the people as a
penitent nation in whose sins
He had no share, and bowed
His head to Johns baptism of
which the later said He had
no need.
THE HEAVEN CONSCIOUS
NESS AND TEMPTATION
AS PREPARATION:
In the Temple at twelve,
Jesus was said to have borne
witness to His Sonship to
God. Ibid you not know that
l must be about my Fathers
business?" "And when he
came out of the water, inn
mediately he saw the heav-
ems opened and the Spirit de-
scending upon him like a
dove; and a voice came from
heaven, Thou art my beloved
Son, with the / am we'll
pleased" Two of the human
senses are involved in this re-
ported experience. The sense
of sight brings the vision of
the opening heavens and of the
Spirit descending in the form
of a dove. The sense of hear
ing is involved in the
voice from h e a EN- which
says, "Thou are my beloved
Son, with thee l am well
pleased" There are two ang-
les of appraisal of this ex-
perience. After the opening
heavens, Jesus could no long
er remain earth-bound even
if He had been before, which
is not probable. The second
standpoint for appraising the
experience of Jesus as He
came up out of the baptismal
waters was the voice of heav-
enly approval. In Job, God
had encountered human char
acter with which He could
challenge Satan "Hast thou
considered my servant Job,
that there is none like him in
the earth?" But here in the
experience of Jesus is the only
instance when Gods voice
from heaven speaks with COM
plete appreciation. "Thou art
my beloved Son, in thee ! am
well pleased" The temptation
following hard upon this con-
sciousness of the divine does
not surprise us. In one of the
Gospels Jesus is said to be led
by the Spirit to the scene of
the temptation. Each time the
challenge comes eff thou be
the Son of God," the santanic
aim is definitely to create
doubt at this epochal point in
the development of history.
Command that these stones
be made bread" This is the
chief temptation of the little
man, security. The second
temptation to leap from the
pinnacle of the Temple ap-
peals to the ostentatious. The
h r d temptation, "All the
kingdoms of the world, and
the glory of them" is the
temptation of those who lust
for political power and lord
ship.
