All the Bible is God’s Word, and is beneficial, but different parts have different purposes. Some parts are more suitable for study than devotional reading and we can get discouraged if we make this mistake. Here is a way of deciding where to read.
Let us read the last three chapters, and feel what it was like for Jesus, the one who paid our ransom, and be filled with love and adoration for him.
Most of Mark’s Gospel is very easy to understand, but here are a couple of passages that give people problems: Jesus' instructions about praying in faith seem confusing, and his predictions about the end of the age are hard to make sense of.
The center of Mark holds the core of Jesus' teachings, but it is not what anyone was expecting. Even today there are many who think they are followers of Jesus but don’t understand this idea. First and foremost the challenge is to us, to follow Jesus in this surprising way.
Does God deliberately harden people’s hearts to stop them repenting? Why did Jesus frequently accuse the disciples of unbelief? These are some of the questions that come up as we read through Mark, and lead to some powerful opportunities of hearing Jesus speak to us.
Let Mark’s presentation of Jesus engage you, captivate you, and change your life!
