Donefor Us Mark 1:9–13
God’scharacter, His nature, is self-giving love. Everything Jesus does, He does “forus.” This phrase will be introduced this week in the series hymn. Pro nobis,or “for us,” appears again and again in the series hymn. Jesus is baptized,fasts, is tempted, overcomes temptation, and, in doing so, begins His work ofundoing the power of the devil (Mark 1:9–13). It is especially worth notingthat because Jesus suffered when tempted, He can “help those who are beingtempted” (Hebrews 2:18). He not only helps us in our weakness, but His love forus extends all the way into the grave.
