Advent Day 8 - A New Beginning Opening lines matter, especially when were dealing with a great writer. Thats true with todays Gospel, penned by a literary and theological genius whom we know simply as Mark. Mark inaugurates his Gospel with this line: The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God. Every word here matters, but especially the first one. It is a word fraught with significance for biblical people. ArcheBereshith, the opening word of the Bible. We translate it as, In the beginning.Arche means that a new creation, some new and unheard of order is emerging out of chaos. John uses the same word about twenty years later when he starts his Gospel with En arche: In the beginning was the Word. Everything Mark is about to tell in his story is about drawing new order out of chaos, about starting over, about a second chance and a new creation. How and where does that new beginning commence? With the birth of a baby, in a small, forgotten outpost of the Roman Empire.
