The Gospel According To Mark: The Beginning Of The Gospel Of Jesus Christ

The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God;

(Mark 1:1 KJV)

“The beginning” of the Gospel of Jesus Christ here is referring to the beginning of Mark’s accout, likely taken mostly from testimony given to Mark from Simon Peter.

The “Gospel of Jesus Christ” is the “Good News of Jesus Christ”. It seems many like to major on the bad news, with very strong emphasis on hell and damnation. True, all the people of the world who have come to the point of accountability before The LORD GOD are indeed going to hell, and eventually, the Lake of Fire, unless they believe upon the Name of the only Begotten Son Of GOD, the LORD Jesus Christ.

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

(John 3:16-18 KJV)


The world is already condemned; LORD Jesus came so that whosoever would believe upon Him would be saved from that condemnation.

The Good News is that Jesus Christ, the Son of GOD, came to save us from condemnation, to redeem us from sin and redeem us from the Curse Of The Law Of Sin And Death (and all its consequences).

The Good News of Jesus Christ (Messiah; The Anointed One), The Son of GOD.

We must understand, this is Mark’s telling of what is likely Simon Peter’s account of The Good News of Jesus The Anointed One, The Son Of GOD. We must make this point sink in to our minds, into our hearts, into our spirits. THIS IS GOOD NEWS!

And this GOOD NEWS is available to EVERYONE!
