Points to ponder:
John preached baptism and repentance (1:4). Is this message part of, precedent to, or included in "good news:?
The word translated as time is "kairos," meaning not just time, but a particular, significant moment in time.
Repent--don't just be sorry about what you used to do; rather, change the way you live your life.
As you read through Mark's gospel, you will find other references to the kingdom of God. He's not talking just about some place we go after we die. God king-dom is beginning here and now.
Those of you familar with her work can see that I have referred closely to Morna D. Hooker's The Gospel according to Saint Mark
