Daily Devo | Good News! (New Testament in a Year, Mark 1:1-20)
About this episode
Mark opens by announcing the “good news”, of gospel, of Jesus Christ. "Gospel" literally means good news, but it could also be a political proclamation of a coming kingdom. By declaring the good news of Jesus Christ, Mark is directly challenging Rome's "good news" about Caesar. Unlike Caesar, Jesus is the true king who brings real peace. As Jesus begins his ministry, he calls us to "believe the Good News" (v15), to believe in the true king and the arrival of God's kingdom.
