Mark's Advent

"And it came to pass, in those days,
That Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee,
And was baptized by John in the Jordan."
So in the Gospel of Mark we encounter Jesus
For the first time
At the start of his ministry,
A man grown.
And God speaks:
"Thou art my beloved Son,
In whom I am well pleased."
Jesus always knew he had God's love,
But how wonderful to have it confirmed.
My wish at Christmas is that we all
Know God's love
And have that love confirmed.
