Advent in the Gospel of Mark


"And it came to pass, in those days,
That Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee,
And was baptized by John in the Jordan."
Thus Jesus appears for the first time
In the Gospel of Mark,
At the start of his ministry,
A man grown.
And God speaks:
"Thou art my beloved Son,
In whom I am well pleased."
From birth
Jesus knew God's love.
How wonderful to have that love proclaimed.
At Christmas may we all
Know God's love
And have that love proclaimed
In our hearts.
