40 days with Mark and Jesus - (1)

Mark 1:1-20

Mark begins with Jesus Christ. We are to know that the Jesus was read about in this gospel is the Son of God. His coming is prepared for by Old Testament prophets, witnessed to by the voice from him and the abiding presence of God’s Holy Spirit upon him.
Because he is the Son of God when the Lord Jesus calls fishermen to follow him they immediately leave their nets and go with him.
It is the same Jesus, the Son of God, who calls us to walk with him; we are to leave everything behind to follow Jesus.

Prayer: Open our eyes, we want to see Jesus, to know that he is the Son of God. Open our ears; we want to hear Jesus calling us to follow him. Change our lives that we may answer his call.
