LESSON TEXT—Mark 1:9 22.
C<M;,DEN TEXT—Repent ye, and believe
the gospel.—Mark 1:15.
A new year of opportunity is be
fore us. What will it hold for us and
for the world? We do not know, but
God does, and trusting Him we
move forward. One thing we muSt
have this next year is mor^ Bible
study. We need to know what God’s
Word has to say to us day by day.
In our Sunday schools we begin
toddy a three month series on tho
Gospel of Mark, which presents
Christ as the Servant of God. It is
the Gospel of mighty acts.
In our lesson we see Jesus—
L I^terinf Upon His Btinistry.
(w. 9-13). ^
The baptism and temptation of
Jesus were not just a preparation
for His work, but were rather His
actual entry upon His mission.
The baptism of Jesus was not be
cause of any sin in Him, for He was
sinless. It was of real signiflcance
as His entry upon the work for
which He had come into the world—
that of redemption. He who knew
no sin became sin for'us. He here
partook of the sinner’s baptism, not
because He had sinned, but because
He came to be the sinner’s substi
tute (see Heb. ITlT). “ _
What infinite love and condescen
sion! To it God the Father gave His
approved (v. 11), and the Holy Spirit
gave' heavenly witness by descend
ing upon Him.
The one who was to be the con
stant opponent of Christ and His fol
lowers was reckoned with at the
very beginning of His ministry as
He was led by the Holy Spirit into
the wilderness to be tempted of
Satan. Around Him were ^e wild
beasts, before Him was Satan, and
in it all "the angels ministered unto
him."
The devil has only three real
temptations to present, "the lust of
the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and
th* pridg of life" (1 Joto 2;lfl). He

uses the same three types of temp
tation with us, varying the "dress”
in which he presents them. Let us
be on guard.
Victory came through the use of
God’s Word. We need to learn that
less(H>>and not attempt to defeat Sp-
tan with any man-made weapons of
will power, logic, or culture.
II. Working As Preacher and
Tercher (w. 14, 15, 21, 22).
The Gospel of Mark is the book of
Christ’s miraculous works. It is
therefore significant that His first
recorded work was that of preach
ing, His second that of calling and
preparing fellow workers, and last of
all the miraculous healing of the
demoniac (w. 23-28).
From a human viewpoint one
would think that the opposite order
would prevail. First let the Master
do some mighty miracle to catch the
attention of the people, then organ
ize a great "party," ' and then
preach. Much effort in our day fol
lows that human formula and fails
of lasting results. The man who
magnifies preaching and gives the
Word of G<xl pre-eminence will see
real spiritual accomplishments.
Notice also that when Jesus be
gan His ministry in Capernaum (v.
21)*) it Was by teaching, essentially
the same as oreachinu. Thprp i« no
substitute for the personal pres
entation of the gospel.
Jesus preached faith and repent
ance, or perhaps one should say re
pentance and faith (v. 15). They
went together in our Lord’s preach
ing. Let us follow His exsmnple.
The preacher of dur day, truly
called of the Lord and faithfully
proclaiming the full counsel of God,
may well be encouraged by the Im
portance our Lord gave to that min
istry. He too iLay speak with au-
-thority—because—He speaks for
Christ
m. Calling His Helpers (w. 18-
20).
The orderly development of any
work calls * for the choosing and
training of associates. Moody is
said to have observed that "it is a
greater thing to put ten men to
work than it is to do ten men’s
work."
CXir Lord was no mere human
leader, but He desired and used fel
low workers and He committed to
them the carrying on of His work
after He departed.
God still calls men into His serv
ice. Would that grace might be
given to each one to whom such a
call may come to respond "straight
way," as did the disciples.
The nature of our Lord’s call to
these men is worthy of our atten
tion. He wanted them not as execu
tives, or leaders of an organization,
or as His personal attendants. They
probably served in all these capaci
ties and others. But their main
business was to be personal soul
winning.
Let us not forget that such is
God’s calling to each of us who are
Christians. We may have other du
ties to perform, other work to do,
but this thmg we BMM^do-^-we must
be "fishers of menT*
