Mark, vol. 2: The Suffering Servant
The Gospel of Mark can be split into two parts based on Jesus' grand mission statement in 10:45, "The Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.†Jesus came to be the Suffering Servant. The first ten chapters of Mark are about Jesus' service to humanity. This section covers his ministry of touching the sick, healing lepers, casting out demons, etc. The second part of the Gospel, from chapter eleven on, chronicles Jesus' suffering for humanity. We read of Jesus' last week on earth and the events that lead to crucifixion and resurrection from the dead. In this series we will examine Mark chapters 11-16.
The Sovereign and the Suffering: The Book of Job
Studying the life of Job is unnerving because as we do so it opens our minds to the reality that in just a matter of hours our world can be shaken to its core. The righteous can and do suffer in this life and in many instances they never know why. It’s fascinating that God doesn't respond to the mystery of human suffering and the problem of evil with a theological treatise, but with a story.Even though the story is four thousand years old, it could have been written yesterday. The reason for its perennial relevance is because it attempts to plumb the depths of the human condition. Job more so than any other book tries to unravel the mystery of man’s suffering in light of God’s sovereignty.
