Reply To: WEEK 7 – Mark

[Michael Trevino]

In the book of Mark there are many passages of scripture to speak of Jesus as exalted Lord  but Marks gospel presents  another side of Jesus as well his servant hood. Mark was not one of the 12 disciples but it is traditionally believe that his gospel was compiled from the sermons of the apostle  Peter. Mark set the pace for his gospel from the very start foregoing the details of Jesus‘s birth and moving straight into his baptism and ministry. Throughout this gospel of Jesus is constantly on the move Healing  sick confronting demons feeding large crowds giving time to outsiders and tirelessly responding to request for help in guidance. Mark includes several passages of teaching as well but these are largely overshadowed by the counts of Jesus‘s actions. Mark made it clear that Jesus is indeed the son of God no one else could could have done what Jesus did. For even the son of man came not to be served but to serve others and to give us life as a ransom for many. The book closes with Jesus‘s death and resurrection completing a basic outline of the life of Jesus Christ. AMEN
