In the first century community of believers,
picture the faithful meeting together in homes.
In Jerusalem, the early church met in a large
home owned by Mary, possibly the sister of
Barnabas who traveled with the apostle Paul.
Her son, John Mark, was likely led to the Lord
by Peter. This young man, Mark, recorded
Peter's eyewitness testimonies of Jesus' life
and ministry. He wrote this, the shortest
Gospel, specifically for Roman readers, for the
strong men.
"For even the Son of Man did not come to be served,
but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many."
-Mark 10:45
"In Mark's Gospel, Jesus lays aside the regal robes of kingship and
girds Himself with the towel of service. He is King in Matthew's
Gospel; now He is God's Servant." -Dr. J. Vernon McGee
Jesus' work pictured in the Gospel of Mark was always for a larger
purpose and always on the move. Jesus' time on earth was short,
and there was a lot to get done.
Mark records 19 miracles illustrating Jesus' power and compassion.
He was the true God and a true man. People responded to Jesus with
awe, amazement, and fear.
The word "immediately" occurs 40+ times.
In the Gospel of Mark, Jesus' greatest acts of service pointed people to
His death and resurrection as their Savior. Only through faith in Him
can we be saved.
MARK CHALLENGES US BY
JESUS' EXAMPLE TO THINK
BEYOND OURSELVES AND
give in love and
service to others.
