From Mark 1.1, this Introduction to the Gospel of Mark seeks to focus our eyes on the surprising Savior we come to know in Mark and to fire our souls with the reality of God with us.

INTRODUCTION TO THE SERIES AND THE READING It was a day that would live in infamy. Not September 11th, 2001 or December 7th, 1941, but Summer of AD 64: The Great Fire of Rome.

This was done as a dramatic monologue, as if I were Mark; and costumed according to Mark 14:51-52! It makes use of one of Mark’s favorite words, "immediately", and argues that Jesus expects immediate response to His call.

What’s happening? What’s going on here? I came as quickly as I could. If you linger, you will miss Him. He waits for no one. He acts immediately. He is the most urgent person I’ve ever known. He just does not wait for anything. He acts immediately. So, again, what’s happening here? What ...read more

It is better to be cleansed from the roots of evil than to be lead from the different forms of prisons that they build around us.

On the second Sunday of Advent, Mark 1.1-8 calls our attention to the person of John the Baptist. John is a figure of confrontation. This confrontation is interior in nature. It has to do with our inner self. It is the greatest challenge of cleansing ourselves innerly. Tom was a quite boy. His ...read more

This is a time of the year for cliches and spiritual sappy-talk. John the Baptist offers a fresh perspective.

Mark 1:1-8 WHAT WOULD JOHN THE BAPTIST SAY TO YOU? Sometimes, when you hear the same thing all the time, it starts to become less and less meaningful. For example, right now, at this time in the year, the newspaper, the TV, and the radio are all saying the same thing: “There is a special sale ...read more

The story of Jesus is an amazing story, which we sometimes take for granted. It should not be this way. We should be amazed!

It is an amazing story, wouldn’t you say? The story of Jesus - his birth, his life, his teachings, his death, his resurrection. An amazing story, indeed. As the title of a movie about Jesus’ life once described it, it’s “The Greatest Story Ever Told.” John the Baptist had told the people about ...read more
