Sermon Transcript Tone Analysis

In reading and verse 9 of Mark chapter number 1 and verse number 9.

It came to pass in those days that Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee and was baptized by John in the Jordan.

And immediately coming up out of from the water.

He saw the heavens parting in the spirit.

Descending upon him like a dove.

Then a voice Came From Heaven.

You are my beloved Son in whom I am.

Well pleased.

And then you have this transitional Bursar Really a stark transition.

Verse 12 says, immediately, the spirit drove him into the Wilderness and he was there in the wilderness.

40 days tempted by Satan and was with the wild beasts and the angels ministered unto him.

Let's pray Our Father

We are thankful Lord for this day that you've given us.

We thank you, Lord, for the folks that are here today.

To sing your praises.

To hear your Praises through your word, your Declaration of who Jesus is and father, I pray that each and every person that is under the sound of my voice.

Understands who Jesus is not just mentally, the Lord understands it to such a point that they submit themselves to the lordship of your son, Jesus, who has been given unto him all authority and Power.

And father, I pray as we look at this tremendous event.

Any event of utmost importance?

Father, I pray that we would not only seal or the temptation of Jesus father, we would apply this event to our life.

I pray the Holy Spirit would have free reign within our hearts that we would that he would examine us and that we would examine ourselves that there be any seeing that it would be repented of and if those here who are lost, I pray that through the Holy Spirit they would be regenerated today that they would call upon the name of the Lord and be saved.

By the way you just thank you Lord for your love and your goodness to us West, all of these things in Christ name and all of God's people said, amen.

well, in keeping with Mark's very fast-paced Style, as we mentioned, in previous sermons, Mark does not mention anything about the birth of Jesus.

He leaves that with Matthew and Luke until Mark.

Really just begins his gospel by focusing, his attention on the ministry of Jesus.

First of all, focusing, our attention to Jesus 4Runner, who is John the Baptist?

But even that section itself as smart points is to the Forerunner, John, the Baptist even that section is concise, it is very brief, it moves from John the Baptist to Jesus, the one of whom, John preached.

And so when the time came for Christ to be revealed to Israel, Jesus left Nazareth, and he came to the Jordan River there.

He was baptized by John the Baptist.

And, of course, we looked at that events and detail last Sunday, but we know that this event really constituted Jesus divine inauguration.

Of the spirit.

And it was there that God the Father, more less, put his Divine stamp of approval upon his son in whom he was well pleased.

And the verses that follow Mark continues really his fast-paced journey.

The word immediately occurs some three times.

And the next nine verses

Raz Matthew.

And Luke provide for us a very detailed account of Jesus.

Temptation Marcus sums it up with two verses.

The question is, why does Mark do this?

Why is Mark so brief in his description of such things?

Well, the answer goes back.

To verse one goes back to verse one.

Where Mark announced that his account of the Gospel was a Royal Proclamation.

A Gospel of Jesus Christ, the Messianic king and the Son of God.

So it is Mark's narrow purpose that keeps then his Narrative of the Gospel.

So streamlined, and so concise.

So, the emphasis on Jesus, Royal Authority provides the Common Thread that that really wish we see throughout the remainder of this chap.

Now, again, we saw last week.

How really the baptism of Jesus was a public declaration?

That was seen not only by those who were witnesses there and John the Baptist.

It was a public declaration that Jesus is the son of God.

The spirit descended upon him like a dove.

The father spoke from Heaven that he was my son in whom I am.

Well pleased it so you have this.

Declarative Jesus is the son of God.

Now the next events that follows at are proofs of that.

They are proofs of this statement that Jesus is God's son.

Therefore he has Authority as we shall see today over Satan.

Because Jesus is the son of God.

Jesus has authority over Satan, as you keep reading throughout these verses and we'll look at those in the next coming weeks.

Jesus not only has authority over Satan, he has authority over sin and its Dominion.

And then also we shall see that Jesus has authority over sinners in their salvation.

And so if the new king is to take his rightful throne, You must, you must demonstrate that he must prove his power will.

How will he do this?

Well, first of all, he would do this at the temptation of Jesus.

Jesus has authority over Satan and so this is a demonstration that he is God's son noticed with me, first of all, these tests was submissive to the spirit.

Jesus was submissive to the spirit, not in all three of the synoptic gospels.

Matthew, Mark Luke the account of Jesus Temptation, directly follows his baptism.

And so, the two events as we've discussed already, the two events stand really in stark.

Contrast one to another Haven't received the Royal accolades of Heaven, Jesus.

Then is immediately faced with the fears of salts of hell.

His coronation by the spirit, and his confirmation.

From the father are followed by immediately by the country.

Confrontation with the devil and sell So it is with us, right?

So it is with us.

How many times even being led by the spirit?

And having maybe a Mountaintop experience spiritually speaking.

We can be often immediately lead very in into Times of trial and Times of testing was such, as the case of the son of God.

And you would think.

That given the Majesty of Jesus baptism.

We may be tempted to expect the innate, glorious celebration, that would follow.

We wouldn't think that there would be some kind of an Angelic chorus that were saying for days to follow but Mark's description does not even include a transitional sentence.

It just States very matter-of-factly inverse of 12, immediately, the spirit drove him in to the Wilderness basc into this sucked into his anointing, by the spirit.

There is no time for Jesus to really fast with those wonderful affirming words of the father.

No, time for him to enjoy those things.

Jesus, rather is thrown into a fiery, assault by Satan himself.

In the Bible tells us that Jesus acted them easily this time going that he was already in the wilderness.

But this time he is taking further into the wilderness.

But notice this, he didn't just decide to go.

What is verse?

12 Palace.

12 tells us, the spirit drove him.

The word.

Can we translate it impaled?

It can be translated passed out or forced out.

As a matter of fact, Mark uses the same word to describe.

Jesus casting out demons.

They were forced out.

There were cast out.

And so this reveals to us that Jesus Temptation was no accidental encounter.
