The lesson of Mark

The Lesson of Mark

 

This morning we are looking at the book of Mark and the lessons we can learn from it.  I love the book of Mark because it is quick in movement, active and impulsive in its main characteristics.  The book of Mark was written by Mark who was the cousin of Barnabus and an associate of Paul and Peter.  Most say that Peter was his mentor.  It was written somewhere between 50 and 70 A.D.  Most scholars believe it was the first gospel written.  It is a book written to challenge the reader with immediate action and change.  Jesus was a man of action.  He did not wait for people to come to Him.  He went to the people.  His work was immediate and effective.  God has called us to live each day as if this was the last day on the planet.  Live your life so well that of Jesus called you right at this moment you would be ready.  The reality is that He could.  Immediate obedience Is what we must be ready to do.  Some opportunities will never come again and to think that you missed one is a great loss.
