Mark 1:1-13

For hundreds of years people have been ignoring the reality of Jesus or pretending that the person and work of Jesus isn’t really that important. Some have just never really taken seriously the claims of Jesus and assume he was maybe a good teacher, prophet, or just a moral person. Others would agree with everything that the Bible says about Jesus…but it doesn’t really have an overall effect on their life. Mark is going to show us right off the bat that neutrality (or passivity) is not an option. Either Jesus is who he says he is or he’s not.
