The
Gospel According to Mark
Chapter
1:7-11
7
And preached, saying, A stronger than I cometh after me, whose shoe’s
latchet I am not worthy to stoop down, and unloose.
8
Truth it is, I have baptized you with water: but he will baptize you
with the holy Ghost.
9
And it came to pass in those days, that Jesus came from Nazareth, a
city of Galilee, and was baptized of John in Jordan.
10
And as soon as he was come out of the water, John saw the heavens
cloven in twain, and the holy Ghost descending upon him like a dove.
11
Then there was a voice from heaven, saying, Thou art my beloved Son,
in whom I am well pleased.

Brethren:
In all truth, if we were to examine ourselves we’d find that we likewise are unworthy. Yet, Christ, through His sacrifice has made us so by the grace given unto us by the Father. Make note, how the words “Holy Ghost” are twice used. In the former, (verse 8), we see John prophesying, and in the latter, (verse 10), that prophesy comes to fruition.
