This morning's sermon focused on the central question: What does God look like?
Mark answers that question by mimicking stylistically, the announcements of Roman military victory. The content of his proclamation is quite different. Rather than a military king, he describes Jesus who lowers himself to be baptized and tested in the wilderness. God cares so much about us God took human form to be with us.
The "victory" is found in belief and repentance, not swords and shields.
What would God have us do? Repent and believe. What does God look like? Jesus Christ!
