Darrell Creswell - A Study of Christian Grace

   

Jesus paid it all

 All to Him I owe

 Sin had left a crimson stain

He washed it white as snow

There is nothing good in any one of us save the grace of the Lord Jesus. It is in the blood of Calvary that we wash our garments white. We are complete in Christ, in His robe, in His righteousness.

Wee number one! …..The greatest strongest,prettiest…champions. Daily such proclamations boldly assert claims of supremacy. Everyone wants to be associated with a winner. Loser are those who finish less than first. In direct contrast are the words of Jesus. “And whoever wants to be a slave of everyone else. For even the Son of Man came here not to be served but to serve others and give his life as a ransom for many’ (10:44,45) Jesus is the greatest-God incarnate, our Messiah-but he entered history as a servant.

This is the message of Mark. Written to encourage Roman Christians and prove beyond a doubt that Jesus is the Messiah, mark presents a rapid succession of vivid pictures of Jesus in action. His true identity revealed what he does,not necessarily by what he says. It is Jesus on the move.

Omitting the birth of Jesus, Mark begins  with John the Baptist‘s preaching. Then moving quickly past Jesus baptism, temptation in the wilderness and call of the disciples, Mark takes us directly into Jesus public ministry.
