Mark 1:9-13: Jesus is called "the beloved Son" by the Father. The Holy Spirit rushes on him in violence. We would expect for Jesus to be ushered in to his glorious kingdom...but he's not. He is exiled. Sent far away from the land of the living where he is tormented and tempted for 40 days. We learn something about the pattern of Christ's ministry, that is is one of substituionary suffering. He is cast off so we can be accepted.
