5 THINGS I WANT TO KNOW

1-Did Jesus speak more than the Hebrew language?

SCRIPTURE FOR TODAY Mark 1:1-8

1 This is the beginning of the Good news about Jesus Christ, the Son of God,

2 as the prophet Isaiah wrote: "I will send my messenger ahead of you, who will prepare your way."

3 "This is a voice of one who calls out in the desert: Prepare the way for the Lord. Make the road straight for him."

4 John was baptizing people in the desert and preaching a baptism of changed hearts and lives for the forgiveness of sins.

5 All the people from Judea and Jerusalem were going out to him. They confessed their sins and were baptized by him in the Jordan River.

6 John wore clothes made from camel's hair, had a leather belt around his waist, and ate locusts and wild honey.

7 This is what John preached to the people: "There is one coming after me who is greater than I; I am not good even to kneel down and untie his sandals.

8 I baptize you with water, but he will baptize you with the Holy Spirit."

I WISH YOU A DAY FILLED WITH LOVE, LAUGHTER, FORGIVENESS AND THANKSGIVING-JASPER
