Beginning on Wednesday, February 14, the writer of the Gospel of Mark will usher us into the action as we watch Jesus heal the blind, repel demons, multiply bread, and hush storms. His power and might know no limits—which will confound his closest followers and attract large crowds.
But we will also watch as Jesus suffers and dies at the hand of the government. So much for a powerful political leader and hope-bringer, right?
Wrong.
Jesus came to flip our definitions of power and hope on their head.
And Mark ensures that whatever preconceived notions of who we imagine Jesus to be will topple.
Perhaps…
Last is the new first…
Great power awaits in weakness…
Life is born through death…
As we get ready to begin our journey through the Gospel of Mark starting on February 14, we must recognize the preconceived images of Jesus we carry. Pictures that, when we read Mark’s Gospel, will turn on their head.
Perhaps Jesus is more remarkable than we could ever imagine.
Are you ready to discover him anew?
