Christ in the Gospel by Mark

Seeing Christ in the Gospel by Mark

Outline:

The Birth and Preparation of Servant Jesus 1:1 – 13;

Servant Jesus Speaks and Serves 1:14 – 13:37;

Servant Jesus Suffers and Triumphs in Passion Week 14:1 – 16:20.

 

In a gospel written from Peter’s words to the fast paced Roman Empire, Jesus is constantly in action!

 

Mark, perhaps the first gospel account written, opens with: The beginning of the gospel about Jesus Christ, the Son of God.”

 

God Himself ratifies the declaration in 1:11: “You are my Son, whom I love; with you I am well pleased.”

 

One of the clearest pictures of Jesus can be found in the Gospels. Tonight trace three lines that together give us a snapshot of Christ as seen through the eyes of PEOPLE AROUND Him.

 

Christ in Mark outlines this beautiful portrait of Jesus.
