In Mark 1:9-15, we encounter a series of pivotal events in the life of Jesus Christ. It begins with His baptism by John the Baptist in the Jordan River, where Jesus publicly declares His commitment to fulfilling God’s will. Following this, Jesus is led by the Spirit into the wilderness, where He faces temptation from Satan, yet emerges victorious. Finally, Jesus begins His ministry, proclaiming the arrival of God’s Kingdom and calling people to repentance and belief. This passage serves as a foundational narrative, illustrating Jesus’ obedience, resilience, and mission to reconcile humanity to God.
