A graphic depicting the baptism of Jesus, featuring two figures in a river, with light symbolizing divine presence above them. Text includes 'God Revealed in Mark Part 1: Jesus’ Baptism' and scripture references from Isaiah and Mark.

Mark’s gospel begins with John the Baptist and the baptism of Jesus. Nothing is said about Jesus before this. So when God’s voice sounds and says that he is please with Jesus, what is he referring to? And what does this reveal to us about God?

“God Revealed in Mark: Jesus’ Baptism” by Pastor Ryan Emmons

Isaiah 11:1-2 (NLT) ; 以 賽 亞 書 11:1-2 (CUVS)
Isaiah 42:1-4 (NIV) ; 以 賽 亞 書 42:1-4 (CUVS)
