Saturday, January 9: Scripture – Mark 1:9
9 In those days Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee and was baptized by John in the Jordan.
Prayer Focus: Finally, in verse nine, Jesus enters the story. He comes from Nazareth of Galilee and was baptized by John in the Jordan River. The Gospel of Mark doesn’t enter the theological debate about why Jesus was baptized by John, when John was proclaiming a baptism of repentance. Other gospels pick up that question, but for now it is just reported as a fact. Jesus is baptized by John in the Jordan River. Sometimes we have to accept the story that we are given, even if we do not know or understand all the details. Pray that you might trust the story as true today.
