Jesus Christ, the Son of God

This introduction to the shortest of the Gospels pulses with urgency and action, written for Roman Christians who needed to understand that their mighty empire paled in comparison to the kingdom inaugurated by Jesus Christ. Mark's opening declaration—'The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God'—isn't just a title; it's a revolutionary statement that redefines what 'good news' truly means. The question confronting us is profound: Has the gospel become too familiar? Do we still feel the wonder of this new beginning Christ offers? As we walk through Mark's fast-paced account, sourced from Peter's eyewitness testimony, we're invited to preach the gospel to ourselves daily, allowing its truth to wash over our souls and reignite the joy that belongs to us as God's redeemed people.
