      OUR DAILY BREAD DEVOTIONAL READING MAY 16, 2025, FRIDAY ODB MESSAGE

      Our Daily Bread Friday 16th May 2025 Devotional TOPIC: The Son of God

      BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: 2 Kings 24-25; John 5:1-24

      KEY VERSE: The beginning of the good news about Jesus the Messiah, the Son of God. – Mark 1:1

      TODAY’S SCRIPTURE
      Mark 1:1-8

      INSIGHT FOR TODAY
      Mark begins his gospel account declaring that Jesus is “the Son of God” (1:1). Then he moves to introducing the Messiah’s promised forerunner, John the Baptist (vv. 2-4). In contrast to the gospel of Matthew, which was written to a Jewish audience and is filled with messianic prophecy, Mark wrote to a gentile audience and offers fewer Old Testament references or allusions.

      One of the few Old Testament quotes in Mark (1:2-3) is from Malachi 3:1 and Isaiah 40:3 and establishes from the outset that Mark’s story of Christ lines up with Israel’s story and how it would find fulfillment in its promised Messiah. Mark also tells the reader up front that John the Baptist wasn’t the Messiah but was preparing the way for one “more powerful” than himself (Mark 1:7). John the Baptist’s self-awareness is fleshed out more fully in the gospel of John (see 1:20; 3:22-36). He knew his role as one pointing to the Messiah who had come—Jesus.

      Our Daily Bread Friday 16th May 2025 Devotional MESSAGE

      Recently, my brother Scott acquired our dad’s military service records from World War II. As I studied the pages, there was nothing startling or shocking—nothing about who Dad was. There were mere facts. Data. It was interesting to read but ultimately dissatisfying because I didn’t come away feeling like I learned anything new about Dad.

      Thankfully, in giving us a record of the life and work of Jesus, the four gospels are much more than just data. They are descriptions that reveal who Jesus was in His time on this earth as well as what He did and said. In Mark’s gospel, that record was for the purpose of proving Mark’s thesis statement: “The beginning of the good news about Jesus the Messiah, the Son of God” (1:1). Immediately, Mark tells us how John the Baptist testified about this Messiah. John said, “After me comes the one more powerful than I, the straps of whose sandals I am not worthy to stoop down and untie” (v. 7).

      Mark’s account makes it clear that Jesus is the Son of God. As John the disciple adds in his own account of Jesus’ life, “These are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name” (John 20:31).

      The evidence of Jesus’ life is abundant. These questions remain: What does He mean to you? How has He changed your life?

      REFLECT: What do you think of the evidence of Jesus’ life, death, and resurrection? How might you tell someone about your response to it?

      PRAY: Father, thank You for the clear record of Your Son’s life
