My Son, Whom I Love
Mark 1:9-15
Who is Jesus?” “Who is Christ?”
And then two questions about our identity “Who am I?”
The last question has to do with us as a family, or fellowship group, and of course as a congregation, “Who are we?”
The story consists of three episodes:
• baptism,
• wilderness temptation
• Jesus announcing the presence of God’s kingdom.
N. T. Wright reminds us that “heaven” in the Bible often means God’s dimension behind ordinary reality.
Jesus is given insight that only Spirit empowered, God-devoted person can see.
Mark tells us that the Holy Spirit came down and into Jesus.
Mark tells us that “Jesus was thrown into the desert by the Holy Spirit.”
Who do you want to be when Lent is over?
Maybe we need to give up something significant. Maybe in order to be transformed or changed we need to spend significant time in prayer.
“Who is Jesus? Who is Christ?” If he is the Son of God, who are you? Who are we?
