John the Baptist (Mark 1:1–8) — A Sermon by R.C. Sproul

As persecution raged in Rome, Mark wrote his gospel to remind suffering Christians of the Messiah who had come into the world to redeem them from destruction. In this sermon, R.C. Sproul begins his exposition of Mark by helping us to see this book through the eyes of its first readers.
