Jan 10, 2021 Mark 1:1-11 The Proclamation of John the Baptist and the Baptism of Jesus

In this week's edition we discuss how Mark focuses on Jesus as the Son of God, primarily through the lens of the cross. We talk about how the Reformers used this passage to understand Baptism as a sacrament. We also discuss the possibility that Jesus' baptismal experience may have served as a "call" that defined his sense of identity and his ministry.
