In The Word - Mark | Behold King Jesus
In Mark 1, John the Baptist prepares the way for Jesus, boldly preaching repentance. John knew he wasn't even worthy to untie Jesus' sandals. But how do we view Jesus? Do we see Him for who He truly is, mighty, powerful, exalted, and worthy of all glory?
At His baptism, Jesus identifies Himself with the very people He came to save. The heavens are torn open, the Spirit descends, and the Father declares, “You are my beloved Son; with you I am well pleased.” Standing in the Jordan is the promised King, the suffering servant, and the beloved Son of God. The King has come to rescue the rebels.
Jesus isn't someone we simply add to our lives. He is King of Kings, the Savior of the world, and He is worth everything. The invitation isn't to become more religious or admire Jesus from a distance, but to behold Him for who He is, repent, believe, and surrender our lives to Him.
