To emphasize Jesus' divine nature and eternal existence as the Son of God
- Expand on the concept of Jesus being the eternal Son of God by exploring other passages that highlight his divinity, such as John 1:1-3.
- Connect the concept of Jesus as the Messiah by referencing Old Testament prophecies that foretold his coming, such as Isaiah 9:6.
- Use Mark 1:9-13 to delve into the significance of Jesus' baptism and subsequent temptation in the wilderness.
- Consider exploring any original language nuances in the Scripture passages you have already included, such as the Greek word for 'beginning' (archē) in Mark 1:1.
- Look for other instances where similar language or concepts are used in the Bible to reinforce your sermon's point, like John 8:58.
