JAN 3: CONFESSION – 8:30 AM, DIVINE LITURGY – 9:00 AM (LIVE-STREAMED); DIVINE LITURGY – 11:00 AM.
The Gospel Reading is Mark 1: 1-8 in which John the Baptist Prepares the Way. Mark was the first Gospel written. It is especially appropriate that it starts with “This is the beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ….” The beginning of the gospel of Jesus is about John, who began preaching several months or a year before Jesus did. Both John and Mark quoted from Isaiah, who preached about 700 years before John and Jesus were born. God didn’t just send Jesus into a situation where no one was expecting him-the way had been carefully prepared.
