MINISTRY | LESSON TEXT—Mark 1:9-22. | GOLDEN TEXT-R epent ye. and believe ithe 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 more Bible study. We need to know what God’ s Word has to say*to us.day by day. In our Sunday ‘ schools we begin today a three month series on the Gospel of Mark, which presents Christ as the Servant of God. It is jthe Gospel of mighty;acts, 1 In our lesson we see Jesus— I. Entering Upon His Ministry (vv. M 3 ). The baptism and temptation of Jesus were not just a preparation for His work, but were rather His actual entry upon His missio. The baptism of Jesus was hot be­ cause of any sin in Him, fojxHe was sinless. It was of real.significance 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. 2:17). What infinite love and condescen­ sion! To it God the Father gave His approval (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 ^ is ministry as He was led by the Holy Spirit into . the ' wilderness to be tempted of Satan. Around Him were the 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 -fthe flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life” '(I John 2:16). 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 ef God’s Word.. We need to learn that lesson and not attempt to defeat Sa­ tan with any man-made'weapons of Will power, logip, or culture. II. Working As Preacher and Teacher (vv. 14, 15,.21, .22). The Gospel of Mark is the book o f . 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 (vv, 23-28). From a human viewpoint ohe 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 God 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 preaching. There is 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 example. The preacher of our day, truly called of th e *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 may speak with au­ thority because He speaks for Christ. HI. Calling His Helpers (vv. 16- 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,” ' , . Our 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,” fls did the disciples. The nature of our Lord’s call fo .these men is worthy of our atten­ tion. He wanted them not as execu­ tives, or leaders o f 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 thing we must do—we must be “ fishers of men.” .
