Struggling, without a sense of identity in being and doing becomes floundering. Doing, without being and struggling with the underlying issues becomes activism. And 1:16-20 adds: and don’t go it alone!"
bullet

"Preaching Mark 1:9-15," Sally A. Brown, Lectionary Homiletics sample, 2009.
bullet"One might explore how our baptism equips us both for the baffling realities of the wilderness and the work of joyful proclamation, or how in the gospel witness of our words and deeds, we draw on our baptism as well as our experience of God’s sustaining grace in the wilderness of conflict."

bulletExegetical Notes by Brian Stoffregen, at CrossMarks.
bullet"As I think about times when my faith has been tested/strengthen, often the best service that others can do for me, is to let me share the experience. Perhaps that is why this event is followed with Jesus' first public announcement. Maybe there is a connection between the Holy Spirit leading into times of testing and the Holy Spirit speaking through us. This text might lead to some autobiographical sermons."
bullet Holy Textures, Understanding the Bible in its own time and in ours, Mark 1:9-15, David Ewart.
bullet"The same Spirit that came like a dove with blessings now comes like a storm and drives Jesus out into the wilderness - out into the wild - into the chaos - into the God-forsaken place - for forty days."

bullet"Despite our turning away, despite our refusal to accept God’s invitation to closeness, God still pursues us."

bullet Wellspring of the Gospel, Lent 1B, Catherine McElhinney and Kathryn Turner, Weekly Wellsprings.
bullet "Test Run," Fred Craddock, The Christian Century, 2003.
bullet"Temptation is not obvious, definitely not a caricature..."

bullet"We seem to travel through wilderness after wilderness in these complex days. At least in this country, among those whom I observe, they say their lives are in shambles and they live and/or work (as if) in a jungle."
bullet "Holiness: Baptism," commentary by David F. Wells, The Christian Century, 2000. At Religion Online.
bullet"This is what baptism is: God places a song in your heart. Your godparents’ role is to learn that song so well that they can sing it back to you when you forget how it goes. And this is the song: heaven is open to you; God’s spirit is in you; you are everything to God. This is the song that makes your heart sing. And what does the song Mean? I’ll tell you. You are the song in God’s heart, and God will never forget that song."
bullet "The Most Uncomfortable Day of the Year," Byron L. Rohrig, The Christian Century, 1987. At Religion Online.
bullet"Ash Wednesday is not known in the church as our good humor day. So I was at first puzzled when I reached into my file, untouched since the first day of Lent last year, and found that I had scribbled the following: "On Ash Wednesday, the minister who just had to be different slung a shovelful of palm ash at his horrified congregation. One parishioner was heard to remark in a whispered gasp, ‘This is a terrible imposition."’"
bullet "Theological Table Talk: Vocational Temptation," William H Willimon, Theology Today, 1995.
bullet"How does the story of Jesus' temptation end? Mark doesn't say, does he? He doesn't say if this contest between Jesus and beasts ended in vocational triumph for Jesus as Jesus shouted, 'Begone Satan!' We don't know the end of the story."
bullet "Jesus' Baptism and Temptation," Rev. Bryan Findlayson, Lectionary Bible Studies and Sermons, Pumpkin Cottage Ministry Resources. Includes detailed textual notes.
bullet"The Gospel of Mark from Beginning to End," James T. Dennison Jr. in Kerux: The Online Journal of Biblical Theology (Reformed)
bullet"Mark begins and ends his gospel with schism-a division, a parting, a rending-the schism of the heavens (chapter 1: 10); the schism of the veil in the temple (chapter 15:38)."
bullet Articles & Background:
bullet "John the Baptist," "Baptism of Jesus," "Temptation of Jesus," "Mark 1: John the Baptist," "Mark 1: Jesus' Baptism and Temptation," wikipedia.
bullet"The Heavenly Veil Torn: Mark's Cosmic 'Inclusio'," by David Ulansey. [Originally published in Journal of Biblical Literature 110:1 (Spring 1991) pp. 123-25]
bullet"Mark did indeed imagine a link between the tearing of the heavens and the tearing of the temple veil-- since we can now see that in fact in both cases the heavens were torn-- and that he intentionally inserted the motif of the "tearing of the heavenly veil" at both the precise beginning and at the precise end of the earthly career of Jesus, in order to create a powerful and intriguing symbolic inclusio."
bullet "Baptism in the Indian Context: An Event of Separation or Human Solidarity?" David C. Scott, at Religion OnLine.
bullet"While we Christians positively eschew divisions based on caste, class, race, gender, and so on, we welcome the division that comes from radical commitment to following the Christ."
bullet"Jesus, Apocalyptic, and World Transformation," David B. Batstone. Theology Today, 1993.
bullet"It is often overlooked how ideologically explosive the notion of the kingdom of God was within Jesus' own social milieu. In first-century Palestine, it did not have the same metaphorical and strictly religious connotation that makes the term so safe within our own theological world. In fact, it evoked the memory and visionary impulse of Yahweh who acts to deliver Yahweh's 'chosen ones' from occupation and oppression at the hands of alien nations. Intrinsic to that symbolic universe is the conviction that the chosen suffer and the unjust prosper in the present day only because history stands at the brink of a great reversal."
