Download Lesson: 5.21.23 Class Notes – Mark 1.1-28

LOOK:

Discipleship is prominent in Mark’s Gospel. Jesus’ call would pose two questions in the minds of Mark’s readers: “Who is this One who calls?” and “What does it mean to follow Him?” Mark provided them an answer in his Gospel. He assumed there were basic similarities between the Twelve (cf. comments on 3:13; 13:37) and his Christian readers, so that whatever he would reveal about the former would be instructive for discipling the latter. Discipleship is the expected norm for all who believe the gospel (cf. 1:15).
