—Mark 1:39-45
by: Andrew J. Camenga.
Mark starts with the words, "The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God." From these words, his account of the life of Jesus unfolds. It is hard for humans to pinpoint the start of the Gospel-God's plan was already in effect when the foundations of the world were laid (Ephesians 1:4). Yet, many Christians can remember when God finally removed the scales from their eyes and allowed them to see his glorious plan. We know the leper had his eyes opened by the Gospel-he already believed in Jesus when the chance for healing came. He fell on his knees and proclaimed faith. We have seen Jesus. Our scales have been removed. Let us walk in the life that Jesus brings.
