Questions to Consider
Something to consider as we read through the book of Mark is how Jesus was misunderstood; really how the first advent of the messiah was missed! Is He a prophet, a teacher, a carpenter? Even Peter who declared to Jesus, "You are the Messiah" in Mark 8:29 turned around in Mark 8:32-33 and rebuked Jesus for teaching about the suffering and rejection, of the messiah, that would take place. The people of Israel were so focused on their "kingdom of THIS world" and their mighty conquering King, who would break the shackles of the Roman Empire, that they completely missed what the Kingdom of God is truly about and who the suffering servant in Isaiah 53 is revealed to be, namely Jesus. How we view Jesus matters, He is both the glory and greatness of God seen in Isaiah 6 and the sacrificial lamb in Isaiah 53 and He is coming back!
