The Gospel of Mark – Jesus, the Servant King
- The Gospel of Mark is the shortest of the four Gospels, but also the most action-packed. - Written to a Roman audience, it presents Jesus as the Servant King a Savior who came not to be served but to serve, and to give His life as a ransom for many (Mark 10:45). - Mark emphasizes Jesus’ works more than His words, showing us that true faith is active, sacrificial, and centered on Christ. - The Beginning of the Gospel (Mark 1–3) - Mark opens with John the Baptist preparing the way for Jesus. - Jesus begins His ministry with authority calling disciples, healing the sick, and casting out demons. - Key Lesson: Jesus has authority over sickness, sin, and Satan. When He calls, we must follow immediately.
