The Gospel of Mark opens the door of the gospel, saying, “The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God” (Mark 1:1). After declaring the beginning of the gospel, Mark introduces the ministry of John the Baptist before describing Jesus’ public ministry. The other Gospels also record the ministry of John the Baptist in different ways. This is because John the Baptist was the servant sent by God to prepare the way for Jesus and testify of Him. This is because John the Baptist is the servant who passed the sin of the whole world on to Jesus. It is the news that it was not we who found a way to solve our sins by ourselves, but God who sent His Son and saved us. Therefore, when we hear the gospel, what we must look at first is not how strong our resolve is, but whom God sent and what He accomplished through Him.
