The Same, But Different

Mark 1:9-13

“What comes into our minds when we think about God is the most important thing about us.” —A.W. Tozer
“How God thinks of us is not only more important, but infinitely more important. Indeed, how we think of Him is of no importance except in so far as it is related to how He thinks of us.” —C.S. Lewis

Jesus

Us

“In those days Jesus came from Nazareth in Galilee and was baptized by John in the Jordan.” —Mark 1:9

God

Him

“Immediately coming up out of the water, He saw the heavens opening, and the Spirit like a dove descending upon Him; 11 and a voice came out of the heavens: “You are My beloved Son, in You I am well-pleased.” —Mark 1:10-11


Jesus

Immediately the Spirit *impelled Him to go out into the wilderness. 13 And He was in the wilderness forty days being tempted by Satan; and He was with the wild beasts, and the angels were ministering to Him.” —Mark 1:12-13
