JESUS GOD'S SON!!! MARK 1
John The Baptist is an awesome example of how to embrace the Love of God, he has received from the Father the promised Holy Spirit!!! John the Baptist was filled with the Holy Spirit from his mother's womb, as foretold in Luke 1:15. John the Baptist leaped in his Mother's womb when Mary her cousin, who was pregnant with Jesus came to visit Elizabeth!!! These are some of the Biblical stories that made me understand the only difference between people are Jews and Gentiles even more, Good or evil, Saved or unsaved!!!
MARK 1:1 The beginning of the good news about Jesus the Messiah, the Son of God, 2 as it is written in Isaiah the prophet:
“I will send my messenger ahead of you, who will prepare your way”
3 “a voice of one calling in the wilderness, ‘Prepare the way for the Lord, make straight paths for him.’”
4 And so John the Baptist appeared in the wilderness, preaching a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins. 5 The whole Judean countryside and all the people of Jerusalem went out to him. Confessing their sins, they were baptized by him in the Jordan River. 6 John wore clothing made of camel’s hair, with a leather belt around his waist, and he ate locusts and wild honey. 7 And this was his message: “After me comes the one more powerful than I, the straps of whose sandals I am not worthy to stoop down and untie. 8 I baptize you with water, but he will baptize you with the Holy Spirit.
