Books of the Bible

Mark

The Gospel of Mark is the clearest and most concise of the four gospels, and it uses a quick-paced narrative style to tell the story of the Suffering Servant who constantly engaged in others-centered ministry through healing, teaching, and preaching. This is a book that stresses the power of servanthood and the reality of finding our life by losing it for Christ’s sake just as He gave His life for our sake. Like the other Gospels, Mark disproportionately emphasizes the final week of the earthly life of Christ with 40 percent of its material dedicated to the last eight days.
