The Beginning of the End

What is Mark 1 talking about and why does it matter? Mark is talking about an exodus. Where God's people move out of exile, and into the Promised Land. Just as Israel went into the land and conquered, so Mark is saying that Christ brought the people out of exile into the Promised Land. But because Jesus is LORD, no force, not the wilderness or Satan will be able to overcome Him. This story is our story as well, for without Christ we will be left in the wilderness. In Christ however, we can enter the land and receive all of the benefits of the kingdom.
