The message of John the Baptist was to repent because the kingdom of God was at hand. Which in our text today, Mark 1:14-15, is also the same message Christ is declaring. “The time is fulfilled and the kingdom of God is at hand.” Can you imagine being a Jew in the days of Christ and hearing Jesus speak those very words? I wonder what they were thinking? Better yet, I wonder what they were expecting? Because I guarantee you what happened is not what they were expecting.
