Mark 1:1-20
John the Baptist, Jesus's baptism and temptation, calling His first disciples, all within 20 verses. No geneology, no birth or childhood stories - Mark is cutting to the chase: Jesus's ministry was servanthood.
Heavenly Father, please don't let me think of myself so important. Lord, I want to walk with Christ. I want to be like Jesus. In is ministry here, He served others. That's what I want to do. Lord, please deal with me, even if it makes me uncomfortable, and heal my deafness and dumness. Lord Jesus, please use me as your hands and feet, and may I be a servant to others so that they will know that you are my Master. I ask in the name of Jesus Christ.
