🌊 The
Story of Mark — Jesus, the Servant King
Part One:
The Beginning of Jesus’ Ministry
Mark opens with John the Baptist,
preparing the way:
“Prepare the way for the Lord, make His paths
straight.”
Jesus is baptized, the Spirit descends, and
God declares:
“You are My beloved Son; with You I am well
pleased.”
From that moment, Jesus begins preaching:
- “The
kingdom of God has come near. Repent and believe the good news.”
Part Two:
Miracles and Teachings
Jesus demonstrates God’s power and compassion
through miracles:
- Healing
the sick, blind, and paralyzed
- Casting
out demons
- Calming
storms on the sea
He teaches through parables, simple
stories with deep spiritual truths:
- A
sower planting seeds
- A lost
sheep being found
- A
servant forgiven much who must forgive others
“With man this is impossible, but not with
God; all things are possible with God.”
Jesus shows that the kingdom of God is
powerful, loving, and life-changing.
Part Three:
Servant Leadership
Mark emphasizes Jesus as a servant king:
- He
washes His disciples’ feet, teaching humility
- He
feeds the hungry, comforts the suffering, and forgives sins
- He
shows that greatness comes through serving others, not seeking power
“Whoever wants to be first must be last of all
and servant of all.”
Part Four:
Conflict and the Path to the Cross
Religious leaders oppose Jesus, questioning
His authority.
Jesus predicts His death, teaching that salvation comes through sacrifice
and obedience to God’s plan.
“The Son of Man came not to be served but to
serve, and to give His life as a ransom for many.”
Despite misunderstanding and rejection, He
continues to love, heal, and teach.
Part Five:
Lessons from Mark
Mark teaches us:
- Jesus
is the powerful yet humble Son of God
- Faith
in Him brings healing, hope, and transformation
- God’s
kingdom values serving, mercy, and humility
- Following
Jesus may involve sacrifice, but it leads to eternal life
