Following Jesus

A Study of the Gospel of Mark

The Gospel of Mark provides a succinct, fast-paced look at the life and ministry of Jesus. It is the shortest of the four gospels, emphasizing the things Jesus did and the places He went. Mark’s presentation of Jesus is light on teachings, parables, and sermons, focusing instead on His travels, healings, and miracles. Mark is a gospel of action. Jesus moves quickly from place to place and scene to scene. Mark is a wonderful introduction to the life of Jesus, and it helps its readers understand who He was and what His life, death, and resurrection mean.
