Mark's Gospel shows Jesus as the perfect servant of God! Jesus came to earth at God's request to serve mankind. That service, of course, would take Him to the cross where He would be cruelly treated, tortured, and crucified! While on the cross, Jesus carried the sins of the world on His shoulders before God the Judge! His sacrifice on mankind's behalf was accepted by God! Now, He can offer forgiveness of sins and eternal life to all who repent and believe. Jesus' service was twofold: He came to earth as a servant of God to faithfully serve the needs of mankind! Mark's Gospel is a wonderful presentation of the life, teaching, and miracles performed, by the perfect servant of God, Jesus Christ!
