The Gospel of Mark

Today's Reading:
Mark 1, 2 (we will be coming back to Acts later)

The main theme of the Gospel of Mark is Jesus: Son of God. Written for an audience of Gentile believers, this gospel has a strong Roman emphasis, being that Mark most likely wrote this while in Italy. The Gospel of Mark emphasizes more of Jesus' ministry rather than his teachings and is therefore, a fast-paced account of what Jesus did during his three years of earthly ministry. As you read through Mark, look for the following themes that are emphasized: The Cross, Discipleship, The Messianic secret (Jesus often did not want his true identity of being the Messiah to be revealed), and Jesus as the Son of God.
