Scripture: Mark 1:14-2:12

One theme of Mark’s Gospel is a readiness to follow Jesus. It is full of urgency and things happen immediately. Jesus displays his authority which astonishes those who encounter it, and calls for an immediate response. Mark illustrates what is expected in response to the good news of Jesus– to trust and obey.
