Inspiration
Jesus is both the Christ and the Son of God, and He is both the Messiah and the divine. He is the one who has come from the Father and is equal with the Father. His dual nature as God and man makes Him both divine and human. It was not a doctrine developed in later years of the church's history. Instead, it can be found in the first verse of Mark, most likely the oldest Gospel.
Mark simply records the beginning of the good news of Jesus Christ, which will continue into the ages to follow. As the promised seed of the woman and the promised Messiah, Jesus came at the appointed time to dwell in the world with His creation. Throughout His life, He served as the suffering servant of God. His death, burial, and resurrection would be good news for all who placed their trust in His sacrificial death.
As believers in Jesus Christ, we have been given the responsibility of spreading the Gospel to the world today. Let us embrace the glorious truth of the Gospel of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, who gave His life as a ransom for us all.
Prayer
Dear Heavenly Father, thank You for Your word and its wonderful truths. I am grateful that Jesus put aside His heavenly glory and took on the role of a servant for all of us. Thank You that He could identify with our humanity and compensate us for our sin. Throughout my life, may I follow His footsteps and live in humble submission to Your Holy Spirit, listening to You and doing only what You tell me to do. 
In Jesus's name I pray. Amen.
