December 18
Introduction
Mark’s Gospel opens with John the Baptist calling people to turn from their sins and be baptized. Jesus is baptized by John and is then led by the Spirit into the desert where he is tempted by Satan.
Today’s Scripture Reading
Mark 1:1-13
Today’s Key Verse: Mark 1:3a
Someone is shouting in the desert, “Get the road ready for the Lord.”
Reflect
What was John’s message? What is your understanding of what it means to “get ready for the Lord”? What is your understanding of the “Good News”? What impact does the “Good News” have on your life? In what ways can you share the “Good News” with others?
Pray
Lord Jesus, you ushered in the Kingdom of God with the Good News of salvation. Empower me with your Holy Spirit and teach me to be a faithful witness and share the Good News. Amen.

Those preparing for baptism
