Mark 2 - Walk in the Delight of the Father

Mark's Gospel presents Jesus as the promised Messiah and divine King, whose coming demands a clear and active response. John the Baptist prepares the way by calling people to repentance and humility, modelling a life oriented entirely toward Christ rather than self. Jesus’ baptism reveals his loving identification with sinners, his divine identity affirmed by the Father and the Spirit. Consequently, believers today are called to genuine repentance, joyful identification with Christ through baptism, and confident living rooted in God's love and delight in them through Jesus.
