Our review of the Bible continues in the 'Gospels' and today's summary provided looks at the 2nd book of the New Testament. It is as follows:
Written in Rome by John Mark c. 58 AD for the believers in Rome. It focuses on the action in Christ's ministry. Across its 16 chapters, we learn of John the Baptist [preparing the way], of Jesus' calling of His disciples, the healings that Jesus does, of He [Jesus] being the Lord of the Sabbath, of Jesus' parables shared, of Jesus feeding the thousands, of the Transfiguration, of His Triumphal Entry [Palm Sunday], of Jesus' words on the signs of the End of the Age, the Lord's Supper, Jesus' arrest, crucifixion and resurrection.
Why should we know this?
From it we see the life of Jesus from the perspective that the Son of Man was sent to serve, not to be served. Mark 12:30 teaches us:
[Jesus said] “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.”
