I did not feel the need to record the facts of my life. As in Luke 1:2, from the beginning, witnesses and workers of the Word
In the early church, which was centered around those who were ordained by them, or those who received direct instruction from them, the need for some records was not felt very well.
It was nice not to get stuck. Also, they believe that Jesus will return soon, and when that happens, the mother of this evil world
He seems to have thought that the record would not be necessary, as all circumstances would not change. But human memory is an absolute
not this. It is common for memories to fade over time. So, among the stories being told,
The wrong facts were mixed. As the years passed, the number of people who saw Jesus firsthand began to decrease.
All. Many disciples were martyred. For example, Peter was also martyred due to the persecution of Emperor Nero.
I felt the memories of Jesus' words and deeds disappear. So, before those who have witnessed them disappear, their flags
Mark, who was living in Rome, desperately felt the need to record the facts of the Lord, which remain in the billions of dollars, in the record as accurately as possible.
Searching through the memory of Dreau, he picked up a brush and wrote the Gospels for the Christians in Rome. the text is

The gospel of God's salvation presented through Jesus Christ is a doctrine that arose out of nowhere, regardless of historical background.
It is not a logical system. God's plan of salvation for mankind has already been prophesied in the Old Testament, and this prophesied fact is the basis of history.

Introducing Han. Matthew 3:1 In those days John the Baptist came and preached in the wilderness of Judea, saying, Repent.
It was said that the country is near. Then what was the phenomenon of that time? political, economic and religious
What was the phenomenon? 1. Political Status The Jewish nation was divided into several nations, namely, Medes, Persia, and Basilica for 600 years before Jesus came.
It was a vassal state such as Belon, and especially at the time of John the Baptist, as we know historically, it was ruled by Caesar Augustus.
I was saying The population of the Jewish nation was only 2 million, and in such a situation, we will try to save the nation by any means.
People burning with patriotism all rose up from here and there and launched a national rescue movement, the representative groups of which were nationalists and
They were the Lubb, the Herodians, and the Zealots. First of all, the nationalist group will do whatever it takes for each other to be flat on others.
Those who compromise or compromise were accused of being non-patriots and tyrants. So, did you equate tax collectors with prostitutes?
All. Next, Herod's Hall is also called Chinro Madang. They say that the Rome of Caesar Augustus had a population of 70 million.
It is a powerful country, and in terms of its power, it shakes the whole of Europe in one hand, but with the power of a Jewish nation with only 2 million people
How can you fight him? It's not that we don't love our country, but we must eat first
are you If we fight against them, won't we be in trouble right now? We just can't do it, so let's whine for a while! did you claim
All. So, naturally, the nationalist group and the Herodian Party always clash, saying that this country is yo-shaped because of you
It was. There was also the Yeolyeol Party, and when they looked at the nationalist group and the Herodian Party, they saw the political party, let alone independence of the country.

John the Baptist arose. Repent. Even the difficult problems of the nation can be solved only by repenting! and exclaimed. 2. Economic phenomenon
The general economy was, in a word, all beggars. Where Jesus was going, crowds of hungry people and sick people gathered.
I did. In Matthew 9, when the Pharisees sounded their trumpets to give alms, Jesus said, ?쏽ou should not do that.
You can guess the situation at that time by looking at what you did. Middle-class economy, soldiers and tax collectors to John the Baptist, we
How do you do it? It can be seen from the answer that soldiers should not be violent and publicans should not accept anything other than the fixed tax.
All. But it's not because the officials are bad. If you don't do such injustice, your family can't survive, so
Because they couldn't do it, they committed extortion, fraud, embezzlement, and dishonesty. The upper economy was the priesthood, and they too were corrupt.

In a deserted and unpretentious area, a scary place where thieves or wild beasts sometimes crouch and harm people, and there are no roads.
The wilderness is a place where you don't even know which way to go. No matter what you cry out in a loud voice in this wilderness,
where there is no reaction. There is no living response except for the echo that is heard from the cliffs and valleys.
A sad place is this wilderness. Since there are no neighbors there, there can be no exchange of tenderness, understanding, and love. endless
There is only loneliness. In this sense, the place where John the Baptist stands and cries out is also in the wilderness. 3. Religious phenomenon Yoo
Speaking of Daekyo, it is a group of priests and scribes who have worshiped Jehovah God for 4,000 years. They were also recognized by the Roman government.
If they violated the law, they were punished according to the law. It was a group that was bound by this kind of church. And speaking in Pharisees, the literal
It means separation. Looking at their religious life, they fasted twice a week (Monday and Thursday), paid tithing,
These were people who draped Bible verses on their bodies, put them on their wrists, offered long prayers, and pretended to be holy. But they heard
It was a group of dogs who looked down on others and were bound by their looks. Also, the Sadducees believe that they can only believe in things that are reasonable and convincing.

Those were grasshoppers and sagebrush. He was a man of self-denial. So people listened to him. Also
