Behold the Christ: Seeing Jesus Clearly

Send us a text

We explore why clarity about Jesus in the Gospel of Mark is the key to steady discipleship and how a sermon-shaped book, Behold the Christ, can help believers behold him rather than blur him. We share the pastoral burden, structure, and practical ways churches and groups can use it well.

• Why the question “Who do you say Jesus is?” matters most
• Why sequential exposition through Mark sharpens the vision of Christ
• how Mark 8’s two-stage healing mirrors discipleship growth
• what “behold” means in a distracted age
• the portrait of Jesus in Mark as servant, teacher, Son of Man, crucified King
• how the book is structured from sermons with reflection prompts
• use cases for church members, small groups, and pastors
• why clarity about Christ produces stability in life and ministry
• ordinary means of grace over novelty and trends
• practical steps to read Mark with the book open beside your Bible
