Whilst the Bible is arranged by
types of writings, we meditate it
chronologically to get better flow.
We start with Genesis on God’s
Plan for creation, then meditated
Job on the Sovereignty of God;
Exodus on Deliverance from Egypt;
Leviticus on the way of Holy Living;
Numbers on training in Obedience.
And the last 3 weekends on Deut
stresses Holiness as a way of life
and reminds the people of the
necessity of Obedience to God.
Having concluded OT bks of laws,
for variety we go to NT on Mark,
which is first gospel to be written.
Mark’s gospel captures the twofold
purpose of Christ’s coming to
earth to minister and to give his
life a ransom for many (10:45).
Mark describes Jesus as the
Perfect Servant, emphasising
more the actions of Jesus & gives
brief treatment to his teachings.
Jewish customs are explained
as the story moves briskly to the
completion of Jesus’ ministry.
We’ll cover Mark gospel over three
weekends in following 5 divisions:
Mk 1-3: Coming of the Servant
Mk 4-7: Mission of the Servant
M8-10: Magnificence of Servant
M11-13: Final Week of the Servant
M14-16: Finished Work of Servant
Let’s meditate thro Mark gospel,
be touched by Obedience of Christ
and be strengthened in Faith. Amen
