In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He [Jesus Christ -Yeshua]
was in the beginning with God.
MARK
The book of Mark is the second of the five books of
gospels and acts.
It was written by a Jewish follower of Jesus whose first name was John
with the surname of Mark. Mark presents Jesus, as Christ, the Messiah,
the Son of Man, who did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give
His life as a ransom for many.
Mark begins with the ministry of John the Baptist as he is baptizing
believers in water. John introduces Jesus as the mighty One who will
baptize believers with the Holy Spirit. During His ministry, Jesus
stressed the necessity of serving others. To be great in the kingdom of
heaven, one must be a servant. To be first, one must be a slave to all.
Jesus is the Servant who continuously ministered to others through His
preaching, teaching, miraculous healings, and most of all, His
sacrificial death on the cross for our sins.
