Treasures from Mark: GEMS for You from the Gospel of Mark

by John Zehring

Overview

Mark introduces to the world the first written gospel. Mark is the first. Matthew, Luke and John come later. They were likely aware of Mark’s gospel and drew from it, each with their own emphasis. It is a short gospel, with fewer than 12,000 words. It could almost be read in one sitting. Mark emphasizes more the humanity than the divinity of Christ. Mark tells about Jesus the man.

Treasures from Mark seeks to mine for treasures buried within the sixteen chapters of Mark’s gospel which speak to your needs and your desire to be faithful to God. Treasures from Mark lifts up gems from each chapter which you can use to inspire you, center your spirituality, strengthen your faith, challenge your thinking, and lead you to some of the highest goals to which a human can aspire. It is well-suited as a daily devotional guide.
