It begins with the world against Jesus. It ends with King Jesus saving the World!
It was the plan of God, from before the foundation of the world, that the Sovereign, Servant, Savior would come to die.
We must be faithful to King Jesus to the end, no matter what!
There is one proper response to the Sovereign, Servant, Savior.
The authority of King Jesus is from heaven!
Eternal life comes through the rejection of earthly wisdom and total reliance on the provision of Jesus Christ, the Sovereign, Servant, Savior.
Jesus Christ, the Son of God, is the King who came to save sinners from hell!
In Mark 9, we see the glory of King Jesus, who came to save, fulfilling the Law and prophets.
When we believe, we see the reality of the world and the Sovereign, Servant, Savior with God-revealed clarity.
We must put away faulty human tradition for the unfailing truth of God!
The failure to acknowledge Jesus as God – Sovereign, Servant, Savior – is the result of a hard heart that prevents eyes from seeing what is plainly true and finding healing for the soul.
Jesus displays His power over unclean spirits, chronic illness and death by displaying compassion for outcasts and lost causes.
Mark helps us to better see the mystery of the Kingdom of Christ as revealed through His parables.
