Text for the Day -- Mark 1:14-15
----------
Now after John was arrested, Jesus came to Galilee, proclaiming the
good news of God, and saying, ‘The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom
of God has come near; repent, and believe in the good news.’
Devotional
----------
Such a rich, full statement of what Jesus was up to as he began his
public ministry - the Good News of God, fullness of time - the right
"God-chosen" moment, the kingdom of God has come. Three strong
statements of God's intent and initiative. What is Jesus looking for
in response to this announcement? "Repent and believe in the Good
News." The Good News is that God has already secured your salvation
in Christ and the power of God's love for you. Jesus invites you to
turn from "self" salvation to God's salvation. Believe in the love
God has for you demonstrated in the gift of Jesus.
Prayer
------------------
Lord, I believe, help my unbelief. Amen
