If we want to understand the ministry of Jesus, we have to start with John. John the Baptist was a pivotal figure, not only at the start of Jesus' ministry, but in the middle and toward the end, as well. All four Gospel writers emphasize John's importance to Messiah's mission. So as we begin our study of the Gospel of Mark, who's there to meet us but this wild prophet? He may look strange, but John has a lot to teach us about how to be faithful and successful witnesses.
