The Announcement Mark 1 – 3

7th Year 11-12 Edition 3 Mark 1-3 l The Weekend Feast l Apr 6-8_2012 Mark Chapter 1- 3 Dear Saints, This weekend we prayerfully continue our Feast in Mark 1 through Mark 3. Mark opens with John the Baptist making the way for or announcing the coming of Jesus. “1 The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God. 2 As it is written in Isaiah the prophet, “Behold, I send my messenger before your face, who will prepare your way, 3 the voice of one crying in the wilderness: ‘Prepare the way of the Lord, make his paths straight,’” 4 John appeared, baptizing in the wilderness and proclaiming a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins.” Mark 1:1-4, English Standard Version. Now this goes right along with what we call “Saintly Service” putting the first thing first. The first thing is salvation by the grace of God through the blood of the Lamb. Mark an Overview: ”Mark was a sister's son to Barnabas, ( Colossians 4:10 and Acts 12:12 ) shows that he was the son of Mary, a pious woman of Jerusalem, at whose house the apostles and first Christians ( 1Peter. 5:13 ) evangelist is supposed to have been converted by that apostle. Thus Mark was closely united with the followers of our Lord, if not himself one of the number. Mark wrote at Rome; some suppose that Peter dictated to him, though the general testimony is, that the apostle having preached at Rome, Mark, who was the apostle's companion, and had a clear understanding of what Peter delivered, was desired to commit the particulars to writing. And we may remark, that the great humility of Peter is very plain where any thing is said about himself. Scarcely an action or a work of Christ is mentioned, at which this apostle was not present, and the minuteness shows that the facts were related by an eye-witness. This Gospel records more of the miracles than of the discourses of our Lord, and though in many things it relates the same things as the Gospel according to St. Matthew, we may reap advantages from reviewing the same events, placed by each of the evangelists in that point of view which most affected his own mind.” – Matthew Henry Concise. Saints prayerfully move forward to the New Testament Feast in Mark. Just because it’s Good Friday it is a great time to share God’s Love.; “By this we know love, that he laid down his life for us, and we ought to lay down our lives for the brothers.” 1 John 3:16 ESV .
