Mar 1:4 | MHM | STEP | v. 4-6 : John appeared in the wilderness, preaching a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins (Mark 1:4 ). His way of living showed a gospel spirit—he wore camel’s hair, a leather belt, and ate locusts and wild honey (Mark 1:6 ). John’s simple life taught self-denial and turning away from worldliness. Repentance and humble living are the first steps to receiving Jesus.
