Mar 1:1 | MHM | STEP | The Ministry of John the Baptist. This section introduces the beginning of the gospel and shows how the New Testament connects with the Old. It explains that the gospel is about Jesus Christ, the Son of God. The ministry of John the Baptist marks the start of this new message. The Old Testament prophecies are fulfilled as John prepares the way for Jesus. John’s life, his preaching, and the people’s response are all important as the gospel begins to spread. v. 1 : Mark opens his book by calling it the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God (Mark 1:1 ). The gospel is God’s message of good news. It is trustworthy and true (Revelation 19:9 ). The main subject is Jesus, who is the anointed Saviour and the Son of God. This truth is the foundation for Christian faith. If Jesus is not the Son of God, our faith has no meaning.
