Today: [Mark 1] The Power of God Revealed in Christ: In Mark chapter 1 we find the account of the beginning of Jesus' earthly ministry. He is baptized of John in the Jordan, and after 40 days in the wilderness, comes out in the power of the Spirit, casting out devils and healing the sick. Before too many days pass, the crowds are so great that Jesus cannot enter into the city, but for the magnitude of the crowds must remain out in the open fields as miracle after miracle take place, galvanizing our faith and leaving us crying out for this same Jesus to make Himself known in our midst.
