“Between What Was An d What Will Be”
Baptism Of The Lord
January 7, 2024
Rev. Dr. Donovan Drake
Mark 1:4-11
4 John the Baptist appeared in the wilderness, [a]preaching a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins. 5 And all the country of Judea was going out to him, and all the people of Jerusalem; and they were being baptized by him in the Jordan River, confessing their sins. 6 John was clothed with camel’s hair and wore a leather belt around his waist, and [b]his diet was locusts and wild honey. 7 And he was [c]preaching, saying, “After me One is coming who is mightier than I, and I am not fit to bend down and untie the straps of His sandals. 8 I baptized you [d]with water; but He will baptize you [e]with the Holy Spirit.” 9 In those days Jesus came from Nazareth in Galilee and was baptized by John in the Jordan. 10 And immediately coming up out of the water, He saw the heavens [f]opening, and the Spirit, like a dove, descending upon Him; 11 and a voice came from the heavens: “You are My beloved Son; in You I [g]am well pleased.”
