“Good
News” - “the forgiveness of sins” and “baptism with the Holy Spirit”
(Mark 1:1,4,8). This Good News is centred on Jesus Christ, God’s beloved
Son (Mark 1:11). Jesus was empowered by “the Spirit” (Mark 1:12). He
comes to us with “the Good news of God” (Mark 1:(14). He calls for our
response - “Change the way you think and act, and believe the Good News”
(Mark 1:15). Where does this change come from? It comes from the Good
News. This is what changes us. By becoming Christ-centred (following
Jesus), we become less self-centred and more other-centred. Jesus
teaches us “how to catch people instead of fish” (Mark 1:17).
