Introduction:   We have already seen that there are two issues involved in getting at the "truth" of the Scriptures. The first is actually coming to grips with the words actually used in the Scriptures. The second is actually coming to grips with the message of those words. In our last study we considered the first of those issues. Our study this evening will be primarily focused upon the second of those issues as they relate to Mark 1:2.
