Mark

 

Mark

John Mark wrote this book with the Romans in mind. It is said he was converted through the ministry or Peter.

Mark was not one of the original twelve apostles, but he knew Peter and went with Paul and Barnabas on their first missionary journey.

Mark portrays Jesus always on the move, going from town to town, meeting new people, healing the sick, confronting the skeptics, inviting the outcasts and loving all. Jesus came to the world to serve, not to be served.

Mark tells of Christ’s ministry in Galilee, His journey and ministry in Jerusalem climaxing with His crucifixion, and His resurrection and ascension.

Without a doubt, Mark wanted to use the life and example of Jesus Christ to instill fresh courage and hope in his readers. He wrote this book at a time when his world and that of his church was coming apart at the seams. So, it is today. The more confused, fragmented, and chaotic our world becomes, the more the good news of Jesus Christ brings focus and clarity to our lives.
