Ptr. Chris Parker – Gospel of Mark
The Gospel of Mark stands out as a fast-moving, action-packed account of Jesus’ ministry, portraying Him as the Servant of God who came to serve and give His life for others. Unlike the other Gospels, Mark skips over Jesus’ birth and early life, diving straight into His public ministry, which reflects its emphasis on what Jesus did more than what He said. Written for a Roman audience, who valued action over words, Mark uses terms like “immediately” to convey the urgency and power of Christ’s work. The Gospel’s focus on Jesus’ tireless service, healing, and sacrifice paints a vivid picture of the perfect servant fulfilling His divine mission.
