On Your Mark: The Gospel in Motion: A Study of Mark
Lights, camera, action! Do you enjoy action-packed movies? Stories that reveal incredible strength and uncompromising character? It’s one thing when these movies are about fictional characters in imaginary places, but quite another when the story is about a real person overcoming incredible odds or displaying amazing courage and sacrifice in the real world.
If you like such films, you are in for a treat. The Gospel of Mark is an action-packed story of the ministry of Jesus. The Gospel covers the three-and-one-half years of Jesus’ public ministry and reveals him as both a miracle worker and a supernatural servant. He is constantly on the move preaching, teaching, healing, and preparing his disciples to carry the gospel forward following his death and resurrection.
Mark focuses on Jesus’ actions rather than his words. He records eighteen of Jesus’ miracles while only mentioning four of his parables. These miracles revealed Jesus’ divine identity and his supernatural power.
Perhaps you’ve heard the saying that some people watch things happen and some people make things happen. Jesus made things happen. He put the gospel into motion. Jesus moved to where people were who needed him. He healed people so they could move. He moved people physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually; and he still does.
And we will have to move to follow him.
