Seeing Jesus in the Gospel of Markعينة

THE BIG IDEA Look Closely: \- John’s work is finished. Christ’s work begins. These are the first words He speaks in Mark. Read verse 15 three or four times. What strikes you as significant about Jesus’ words? \- Imagine yourself hearing Jesus say this as you go about an ordinary day, finishing your work, shopping for food, visiting a friend. What about these words would make you pause and continue to listen? \- If you knew nothing more about Jesus, what would you expect to see, learn, or experience after hearing these words?
