(Lesson 5213)(05-14-26) Mark 1:1-3
“The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God; As it is written in the prophets, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee. The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight.”
Today’s quote relates the prophetic coming of John the Baptist and describes his divine mission which was to “Prepare the way of the Lord”. John was not sent to preach the gospel of Christ because there was no “gospel of Christ” until Jesus had finished His own divine mission which was to die the perfect sacrifice for the sins of all who will come to believe in Him. John simply preached the coming of the Savior and baptized the willing Jews in water in preparation for that coming. ~
