First Words

Not that anyone reads this or uses it but I thought I would throw this out there.

A four part series on the first words of Jesus. Each week would focus on a different Gospel and the significance of what he said.

Matthew: "Let it be so now; it is proper for us to do this to fulfill all righteousness."
The context is his baptism. This would be the most difficult of the four to do but it could be something along the lines of Jesus full commitment to identify with us and get on our turf.

Mark: "The time is fulfilled, the Kingdom of God has come near. Repent and believe in the good news."

Duh.

Luke: "Why were you searching for me? Didn't you know I had to be in my father's house?"
Jesus, even when he was young, was fully committed to the work of God. It was fundamental to his identity.

John: "What do you want? . . . Come and you will see." An invitation to come and be with Jesus and discover who he is.
