About the book of Mark
Mark's biography confronts us with the radical revolution of the LORD Jesus. Just as the disciples in this gospel constantly struggle to face the challenge of following Jesus in the way of the Cross, so we too are forced to examine our lives at the deepest level. Mark shows us that Jesus is the Divine Son of Man who is the Suffering Servant. Jesus is the LORD over All and He is also the Servant of All. We all might like a God who reigns with authority from the comfort of heaven, but can we handle the Living God who reigns in glory from the darkness and pain of the Cross? With his urgent style of writing and his brilliant presentation of the identity and mission of Jesus, Mark calls us to turn around and allow our world to be turned upside down by the LORD Jesus.
