In it Jesus is seen as the mighty Worker, rather than as the unique Teacher. It is the Gospel of Jehovah's "Servant the Branch" Zech 3:8 as Matthew is the Gospel of the "Branch. . .unto David" Jer 33:15. Everywhere the servant character of the incarnate Son is manifest. The key verse is Mk 10:45. "For even the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister." The characteristic word is "straightway," a servant's word. There is no genealogy, for who gives the genealogy of a servant? The distinctive character of Christ in Mark is that set forth in Phil 2:6-8. But this lowly Servant, who emptied Himself of the "form of God," "and was found in fashion as a man," was, nevertheless, "the mighty God" Isa 9:6 as Mark distinctly declares (Mk 1.1) and therefore mighty works accompanied and authenticated His ministry. As befits a Servant-Gospel, Mark is characteristically a Gospel of deeds, rather than on words. The best preparation of the heart for the study of Mark is the prayerful reading of Isa 42:1-21 50:4-11 52:13-53:12 Zech 3:8 Phil 2:5-8. Mark is in five principal divisions: I. The manifestation of the Servant-Son, 1.1-11. II. The Servant-Son tested as to His fidelity, 1.12,13. III. The Servant-Son at work, 1.14-13.37. IV. The Servant-Son "obedient unto death," 14.1-15.47. V. The ministry of the risen Servant-Son, now exalted to all authority, 16.1-20. The events recorded in this book cover a period of 7 years.
