Daily Devotionals- February Edition by Pastor Ike J. Monye February 5, 2018. HE IS THE SON OF GOD (THE BOOK OF MARK) Scripture Reading: Mark 1:1 Additional Bible Reading: Mark 1:21-27, Proverbs 5.

Indeed he begins his gospel like this: "The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ the Son of God..." Mark 1:1 Being the Son of God, He had authority to teach the way He taught; He had authority over Satan, over the Sabbath, over sin, over nature and so forth.
