Why He Came (Mark 1:29-39)

Mark's gospel is a gospel of action.  We are still in the first chapter and we have already seen the baptism of Jesus, casting out demons, the calling of the first disciples and teachings in the synagogues.  In today's reading, we find out a key element of Jesus' ministry as he reveals what it is he came to do.  It's a message that we can take to heart as we go out into the world to be the light of the world and to emulate Christ.
