he himself has suffered and been
tempted, he is. able to help those
who are tempted." - Hebrews
2:18. - , ,
Lesson Text: Mark' 1:1-13.' i
The purpose-of our .study to
day is to introduce the Gospel
of Mark and to consider the pre
paration that Jesus and . others
made for his ministry. . . ,
In understanding any book it
is helpful to, know something of
its historical setting, v This is
specially trui of the , Book of
The Book' of Mark is 'not' a
oiographyj nor' a history of Je
sus of Nazareth. It is clearly
and .unapologetically ; evangelis-
tic in its emphasis' and .in its
purpose. It is the good news of
me who was thoroughly human
but , unmistakably the Son of
God. It is directed to those who
were already: Christians, but
jvho were under persecution for.
heir Christianity. They ; were-
disturbed by the martyrdom of
the apostles Peter and Paul, and
faced with imminent martyrdom
themselves. .
Mark was written to , demon
strate to the Christian com-,
munity.in rtome the power and
purpose of -Jesus Christ, 'Whose
own life and death and", life af
ter death is the only answer to
suffering and discouraged men.
It is the "good , news", of . the
strong Son of God whose mighty
deeds overcame 1 th,e ; sinistef
forces which blocked and beset
him and even put him to death.
In an understanding of the pur-
nose of the death of, Jesus
Christ,, traced through, the con
densed account of his active
ministry, , : revealed : in his own
life and teachings, demonstrated
in his death and vindicated -in
his resurrection.' the Christian in J
the midst of his, own crisis could '
find meaning and purpose, cour
age and spiritual resources.'
f The intrtiduetory mvtion of the
Gospel of Mark, with , which, we
are concerned in . this .lesson,
I prepares us for the Galileanmin
istry. Here there were two im
portant occurrences: jonn dbp-
tked Jesus, and , Jesus faced
temptation. A Jesus' baptism, in;
troduced his public ministry. , . It
identified him with . John the
Baptist's proclamation that the
kingdom of God was at hand.
And it identified Jesus with the
sinful' nation that was seeking
God's forgiveness and grace.
Jesus comes' to where we are;
he shares in our condition so
that he can open the way for
us to return to God. i
Again,1 the baptism was' a
time of vocational.,, change for
Jesus. He- was now- aware of a
new task, and he undertook a
new missiori. The event of his
baptism, introduced this new
work. Jesus was baptized by
John. John the Baptist was the
transitional figure. He stood be
tween the old age and the new.
He was a part' of the old cove
nant; he looked forward to the
coming of the Messiah; but he
was unique, for to him was giv
en the "task of announcing that
the new time has come. - v
: Jesus was baptized. " And the
revelation of the new age be
gan but with. conflict. . xne
temptations indicate -the dimen
sions of this conflict. In these
'emptations ,the nature of Jesus'
nessiahship was defined: Jesus
vould not' be Ja political- Mes
siah. He was not to do the
ipectacular, ' He i was to live
aitfifully by1 the word of com
nission he had heard. The
temptation to turn stones into
read was a temptation for
Iesus to prove ,tq! himself that
he was the Messiah. But Jesus
efused and stated that he must
!ive by laith in the word of God
which had been spoken to him.
Then Jesus was told to Jump
from the top of the. Temple, to
prove to others that he was the
Messiah. Do . the unusual, the
mexpected. the miraculous. But
Iesus' refusal to do this , meant
that he wouid live among men
and ' serve them as proof of his
messiahshiptV And finally, Jesus
was given the opportunity to
rule the' 'world. This was a
temptation to be ft political mes
siah. But again. Jesus refused.
He had come to 'minister, to
erve, to give his life for many.
le-must fulfil this role.
