Romans 3

Only by faith in Jesus can we really become holy in God's sight.
This faith is a free gift of God's grace to us

Only when Jesus is in our hearts, 
can our hearts become holy in God's sight

Jesus, please live in my heart! May you live in me, and I in you


Mark 1

This is the story of the Good News about Jesus Christ,
the Son of God.

Long ago God said through  the prophet Isaiah
"I am going to send my messenger before you.
He will prepare your way.
A voice cries out in the wilderness: prepare a way for the Lord".

And so it was that John the Baptist appeared in the wilderness,
proclaiming a baptism for the forgiveness of sins.

As the people were baptized by John in the river Jordan,
they confessed their sins.

John wore a garment of camel skin.
Locusts and wild honey were his food.

He said to the people
"Someone is coming who is more important than I am.
I am not worthy to kneel down and undo his sandal straps.

I baptize you with water. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit".

Jesus, please help us prepare a way for you like John the Baptist
