And a voice came from the heavens,
“You are my beloved Son;
with You I am well pleased.”
(Mark 1:11)
Jesus is the beloved Son of God. He came to earth to show us love, healed the sick and raised the dead, fed the hungry with bread. He taught us to forgive and pray, showed us the truth and the way. He died for us on the cross and paid the price for our loss. He rose again on the third day, conquered death and sin, ascended to heaven to prepare a place for us. He is our Savior and our Lord who loves us more than we can know. He invites us to follow Him and grow.
With Jesus, God is well pleased. He is the perfect Lamb of God, the fulfillment of the law and the prophets who came to obey the Father's will. He is the light of the world who revealed the glory of God and manifested the grace of God. He is the King of kings having all authority and power and reigns forever and ever.
Jesus baptizes you with the Holy Spirit. He gives you a new birth and a new life. He fills you with power and gifts and enables you to serve and witness. He cleanses you from sin and guilt, sanctifies you and makes you holy and transforms you and makes you like Him. He comforts you and guides you, teaches you and reminds you. He leads you and directs you because His most Holy Spirit resides in you.
Lord Jesus, I receive Your Most Holy Spirit. I open my heart and my life to You, surrendering to Your will and Your plan as I desire to know You and love You more. Thank You so much for Your grace and Your mercy, Your salvation and Your healing. I humbly ask You to fill me with Your power and Your gifts. I seek You to guide me with Your wisdom and Your truth. I follow You to serve You with Your love and Your joy and worship You for Your glory and Your majesty. Amen.

I: The Preparation for the Public Ministry of Jesus
THE PREACHING OF JOHN THE BAPTIST
Mark 1:7-11
This is what John the Baptist proclaimed: “One mightier than I is coming after me. I am not worthy to stoop and loosen the thongs of his sandals. I have baptized you with water; he will baptize you with the Holy Spirit.” It happened in those days that Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee and was baptized in the Jordan by John. On coming up out of the water he saw the heavens being torn open and the Spirit, like a dove, descending upon him. And a voice came from the heavens, “You are my beloved Son; with you I am well pleased.” (Mark 1:7-11)
