In Mark 1:9-11 we see the Holy Spirit descend on Jesus, and we begin to see a pattern of truth and power. When the Holy Spirit comes upon Jesus, truth is proclaimed by the Father about Jesus, and then power as the Holy Spirit leads Jesus into the wilderness to face and overcome temptation. We see this pattern at other times in the Gospel of Mark. As we continue to look at the Holy Spirit, we ask what it looks like to have the Holy Spirit speak the truth in power and comfort into our lives.
