Mark 1:9-15
The Holy Spirit is God! His manifested presence in the Bible began in Genesis 1:2. As soon as Jesus was baptized in water, He received the Anointing, the Holy Spirit’s Power in His life and ministry. This is why Jesus is called “The Christ”, which means, “The anointed One.”
1. Jesus was baptized in water by John.
Jesus was baptized in water so he could identify himself with us, as well as to obey God the Father perfectly. Jesus fulfilled God’s righteousness, which is God’s Will.
2. The Holy Spirit descended on Him
a) Descended... The Holy Spirit came from Heaven; from above! He filled the personhood of Jesus! In the same way, we need to receive His infilling in our lives. We need to think about the important reality of the Holy Spirit in our lives as well as in the Church today.
b) Appearing like a dove, The Holy Spirit was visible to everybody, which confirmed Jesus as the promised Messiah.
c) God’s voice: In this moment we see the Holy Trinity assembled together: The Father, The Son and The Holy Spirit.
3. The Spirit sent him out into the desert
a) The Holy Spirit comes to help us fight life’s battles. We receive power to win when we are filled with the Holy Spirit.
b) Jesus was tempted in the desert, but he won! We will also win with Him on our side. John 16:33.
c) You are not alone once you have given your life to Jesus Christ. The Holy Spirit will lead you in how to live and be a real Christian today. John 16:13-15.
4. Proclaiming the Good News of God
a) Jesus proclaimed (preached) the Gospel (Good News), and so do I.
b) Jesus announced the Kingdom of God, and so do I. - God’s Kingdom is bigger than the Church and He rules over all.
c) Repent and believe the Good News! This is the message we must take to the world!
