Mark 1:1-15

Behold, your God arrives

As Mark introduces Jesus in his gospel, he doesn’t talk about Jesus’ birth or upbringing, instead he takes us back to Isaiah the prophet. He wants us to see that Jesus is not just a bright moment in the history of the world, but the very fulfilment of all of our longings throughout the centuries. As we see the ways in which Jesus fulfils Isaiah, we get a deeper appreciation for how unique Jesus is.
